Mercato Metalli’s trading marketplace leverages AI-driven data insights and flexible trading models
Uses can choose between broker-assisted or autonomous self-listing while receiving daily price and supply chain updates
Mercato Metalli, a fast-growing hub for metal trading in Europe, has launched a new global marketplace with a dual-mode system that allows companies to trade metals either through professional intermediation or via fully autonomous self-listing. These options offer flexibility for industrial buyers and sellers worldwide.
The company has reached this milestone following two consecutive years of significant operational volume, handling over 20,000 tons of materials per year and generating approximately €35 million in annual revenue in both 2024 and 2025. These results reinforce Mercato Metalli's position as a rising international leader in the digital metals market.
With this launch, MercatoMetalli.com becomes one of the first platforms in the sector to integrate:
- Dual trading modes (broker-assisted and self-service)
- AI-enhanced daily pricing insights, based on end-of-morning closing levels used in physical-material price lists, combined with broader global market signals
- An expanded product ecosystem including scrap metals, semi-finished products, industrial equipment, and specialized machinery
- A rapidly growing international network across Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and upcoming expansion plans in North and South America
Flexible selling choices
1. Intermediation mode
For companies that prefer a managed service, Mercato Metalli's brokerage team handles:
- Pricing guidance
- Qualification of buyers
- Logistics support
- Negotiation and closing
2. Self-listing mode
Sellers can upload materials directly to the marketplace, gaining access to a global community of buyers.
This function is designed for:
- Scrap yards
- Foundries
- Steel mills
- Exporters
- Industrial dismantling companies
Both modes coexist seamlessly within a single platform, allowing companies to switch depending on their operational needs.
AI-driven daily pricing insights
Mercato Metalli has introduced an AI-enhanced analytical layer that processes daily data from:
- Global metal exchanges
- Macroeconomic signals
- Supply chain events
- Geopolitical developments
The system produces daily pricing insights, updated at the end of the morning after the closing levels used by industry players for physical-material price lists.
It then attempts to predict the following day's closing price, helping companies navigate constant market volatility with clearer expectations.
Expanded categories: Metals, machinery, semi-finished products
The marketplace evolves beyond scrap, now hosting:
- Non-ferrous and ferrous scrap
- Copper cables and industrial metals
- Aluminum profiles, brass, bronze, stainless steel
- Semi-finished products (billets, coils, profiles, ingots)
- Industrial machinery and equipment, including shredders, analyzers, cranes and heavy-duty processing units
