Sustainable and Industry 4.0 Investments at ARGO METAL

Starting in 2022, ARGO METAL S.r.l. carried out the project “Sustainable and Industry 4.0 Investments at ARGO METAL” (“Investimenti Sostenibili e 4.0 presso ARGO METAL”), co-financed by the European Union – ERDF, NOP Enterprises and Competitiveness 2014-2020, with REACT-EU resources.

Aims

To increase production capacity and market competitiveness, reorganise the production layout, optimise company logistics and the supply chain, and make the production cycle more efficient through a rational use of resources and materials.

Investments

To carry out the project, the company purchased new machinery for processing and sorting metals, including a shredding plant and separators.

Expected results

More production capacity, a more efficient production cycle and better use of resources and materials.

Results achieved

Thanks to the investments made with the support of European funds, Argo Metal has transformed its business, moving from simply trading aluminium scrap to processing it and adding value to it industrially. The installation of technologically advanced plants has made it possible to reach a potential production capacity of 1,000 tonnes per month, improving the quality of the recovered materials, the separation of the different fractions and the efficiency of the recycling process, making a concrete contribution to the circular economy.
