Metaloop
Europe's leading All-in-One Solution For Metal Scrap
About Metaloop
In 2016, Alexander Schlick and Jan Pannenbacker founded Metaloop in Graz, Austria, with a vision to revolutionize the metal recycling industry. Their mission was clear: to bring transparency, efficiency, and sustainability to a sector often seen as outdated and opaque.
Metaloop operates as a B2B online marketplace for scrap metal, connecting suppliers and buyers through a streamlined digital platform. This innovation not only simplifies transactions but also promotes environmentally friendly practices by encouraging the recycling of metals.
The company's journey took a significant leap forward in September 2023, when Metaloop raised €16 million in a Series A funding round. This financial boost, led by FirstMark Capital and joined by FJ Labs, Statkraft Ventures, and Silence VC, was pivotal. It enabled Metaloop to accelerate its growth and further its mission to reduce CO2 emissions through enhanced recycling processes.
Today, Metaloop stands as a testament to the power of digital transformation in traditional industries. By leveraging technology, Schlick and Pannenbacker have positioned Metaloop as a leader in the metal recycling space, driving both economic and environmental benefits.
