Who we are

European excellence in the metallurgical sector

Stemin is today one of the leading players in the metallurgical industry, with a well-established leadership in the recovery, processing and marketing of non-ferrous metal scrap, as well as in the production of secondary and semi-primary aluminium alloys.

As the flagship company and key reference within the FECS Group, Stemin represents the industrial core of a fully integrated aluminium supply chain.
Since its founding, the company has overseen the entire aluminium cycle, expertly managing every stage—from recovery to valorisation and melting.
With a share of around 16% of the secondary aluminium currently in circulation in Italy, Stemin stands out as a strategic player in the aluminium industry at both national and European levels.

Stemin is also one of the main contributors to the CONAI system, through participation in the RICREA (steel) and CIAL (aluminium) consortia, actively supporting the national circular economy. Its semi-finished products are registered under the “FECS” brand on major commodity exchanges such as the London Metal Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and are also listed under the NASAAC (North American Special Aluminium Alloy Contract) index—underscoring the company’s commitment to quality and reliability.

Mission

Regenerating the future: our mission

As the flagship company of the FECS Group, Stemin embodies an advanced industrial vision with a strong focus on sustainability. Its mission stems from a clear and concrete idea: to shape a vertically integrated circular economy model, where every material is given a new life.

Through an holistic approach, Stemin manages the entire aluminium lifecycle, ensuring that every stage—from recovery to transformation—is traceable, certified and driven by high quality standards. The goal is simple yet ambitious: to regenerate value, creating a virtuous production process that not only optimizes resources, but also looks ahead—responsibly and with foresight—to future generations.

Innovation, control, flexibility: our competitive edge

Stemin’s competitive advantage stems from a unique combination of full control over the supply chain, an active presence in global markets and the ability to rapidly adapt to industry dynamics.

Direct access to major commodity markets enables us to anticipate price fluctuations and offer timely, tailored and competitive solutions to our clients. At the same time, we continuously invest in green technologies and energy-efficient processes, with the goal of reducing environmental impact and improving internal efficiency.

All of this reflects a clear strategy: to valorise every form of aluminium, transforming it from waste into a valuable resource.

Values

Our values: deep roots, a commitment to the future

The values that drive Stemin are not just statements of intent — they are the engine behind every decision, every relationship and every achievement. They stem from the legacy and vision of our President, Olivo Foglieni and continue to live on in the identity of a company that, while speaking to the world, remains deeply rooted in its local territory.

Circular Sustainability

We transform waste into resources, recovering 95% of incoming metal waste and reducing energy consumption by 95% compared to production from raw extracted materials. Our process is free of harmful emissions and produces no polluted water, actively contributing to environmental protection.

Technological Innovation

We continuously invest in advanced technologies for aluminium treatment and melting, including a patented smelting process and high-precision separation systems. Our innovative approach enables us to process materials with particle sizes as small as 3 mm, which are otherwise difficult to recover.

Quality and Reliability

We ensure the highest quality standards through strict controls on all raw materials and semi-finished products, backed by international certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and IATF 16949. Our focus on quality guarantees reliable products that meet customer requirements.

Responsibility and Transparency

We operate with integrity and transparency, following a Code of Ethics that guides our daily actions. Our responsibility also extends to the measurement and reduction of our carbon footprint, as certified by UNI EN ISO 14067:2018 and UNI EN ISO 14064-1:2019.

Flexibility and Adaptability

Our organizational structure allows us to respond quickly to market and customer needs, offering tailor-made, timely solutions. The combination of solidity and agility enables us to successfully navigate the challenges of the industry.

Interconnection and Collaboration

As part of FECS Group, we actively collaborate with consortia such as CONAI, RICREA and CIAL. Our network of partnerships and the synergy among group companies strengthen our ability to innovate and generate shared value.

Through these values, Stemin strives not only for operational excellence, but above all for a positive impact on communities and the environment — contributing to a more equitable, efficient, and sustainable industry.
