What we see in the market
Across the region there is a growing focus on recovering more value from scrap and industrial residues. At the same time, buyers have access to equipment from Europe, Asia and elsewhere, and many compare on price first.
The companies that get traction are the ones that can show, in the buyer’s own numbers, what better separation, higher recovery or longer equipment life is worth.
Who buys
- Scrap yards and metal recyclers.
- Steel, aluminium and other metal producers.
- Demolition and construction contractors with metal-rich waste streams.
- Industrial plants with metal scrap and residues.
Where European technology can win
- Processing technology that measurably improves recovery or product quality.
- Cutting, handling and processing equipment built for heavy, continuous use.
- Operational know-how from the Nordic metals and recycling industry.
Where it struggles
- Where the price difference to Asian equipment is large and the value difference is not shown.
- Where service and spare parts are not available locally.
