Who we are.
Since 2014 we have been recovering metal scrap and turning it into aluminium ready to go back into production. Our two operating sites are in the province of Brescia; our sales offices are in Bologna and Rivoli (Turin).
From scrap to raw material.
Argo Metal has been active in metal scrap recovery since 2014. We receive material from dealers all over Italy, mainly from the North; we inspect it and process it into End of Waste aluminium: no longer waste, but a raw material that meets the End of Waste criteria.
In Nuvolera, home of our registered office, material arrives and leaves: here it is weighed and undergoes a radiometric check. At the Mazzano plant we shred and sort it.
What we do →Why Argo.
Argo is the dog of Ulysses: the first to recognise him when he came home after twenty years. He is the symbol of loyalty and watchfulness.
In the logo Argo becomes the A of the name: an A made of three bars, the last of which rises to become the dog's head. Like the metal we recover, the same parts take on a new form. The orange collar is the crossbar of the A and the colour of molten metal.
The numbers, today.
Investing to grow.
In recent years we have invested in new machinery for processing and sorting metals, also with the support of the European Union.
Project IS0109978, “Sustainable and Industry 4.0 Investments at ARGO METAL”, was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the NOP Enterprises and Competitiveness 2014-2020 and REACT-EU resources.
