MERCATO METALLI SRL - SCRAP QUOTATION
Publication of scrap prices for the Italian market.
Mercato Metalli was the startup that in 2019 created the first digital marketplace for the buying and selling of metals for companies and that started publishing the prices of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap online for the Italian market.
Today it is a reality capable of managing the sale and logistics of thousands of tons every month.
The prices are market averages.
They are neither purchase prices nor sales prices.
These indications should be taken into consideration as market averages.
Unlike stock market prices which indicate values for 99,99% pure materials, in the world of real trade many other aspects must be taken into consideration to give an economic determination to a load of goods.
In particular, the prices of scrap metal are influenced by the trend of raw material, which remain the main price determining factor, but also from quality of the material, from necessary work and by amount at your disposal.
Bag, quality and quantity.
The number and type of processes that a load of goods must undergo, in order to be brought back to purity to be reused in the industrial production process, are determining factors in understanding how much companies in the sector will be willing to spend on that specific material.
In addition to the processes are to be considered quantities that a company has at its disposal, in fact the main discriminating factor in this sense is the ability of a company to satisfy long-term supply contracts with recycling plants or foundries.
Obviously it is equally important to consider whether the quantity of material is sufficient to have good margins compared to transport costs towards the top spenders on the market or is it better to deliver to closer plants and give up the top selling price of the material.
The sales or purchase prices of the material may therefore undergo improvements or worsening depending on each specific case.
The overview of cases is innumerable, for this reason Mercato Metalli, in addition to publishing the average market prices, in order to be a balance of the sector, also acts as an intermediary in the real sale of scrap.
LISTING AND SALE
The Mercato Metalli team makes itself available to each individual company to indicate the best commercial route for each type of material and quantity in possession, also following logistics aspects and guaranteeing payments. Mercato Metalli therefore plays a key role in selling the supplier's material at the best price on the real market, which is influenced by stock market prices, but which must then adapt to a series of physical and regulatory constraints for the sale, storage and recycling of the metals.
The platform publishes offers of material for sale and at the same time collects purchase prices, keeping the supply and demand market monitored.
“Based on the hundreds of registered companies and the thousands of tons managed monthly, Mercato Metalli is able to have in-depth knowledge of the prices applied on the real market, informing users with average prices, thus adding another tool to the platform that serves the objective of facilitating and speeding up metal trading with a circular economy perspective.”
The specific quotes for each case aimed at indicating how much companies are willing to spend for the purchase of your material must be requested via email, telephone or app.
