Metalsider spa was founded in 1964, and has been operating in the secondary zinc production sector for over 50 years. Metalsider 2 is currently able to recover and recycle up to 20,000 tons of zinc ash per year, coming from hot-dip galvanized steel, and 30,000 tons of new and old Zinc scrap.

From the recovery of these waste, Metalsider2 produces zinc and its alloys which it sells mainly to companies that carry out hot-dip galvanizing of steel or which produce primary alloys of zinc (Brass).
