In 1947 in Vergato, in the Apennine mountains outside Bologna, Ferrante and Otello Fiori founded the metal collection and recycling business that was to become Fiori Group.

The beginnings
-
Italy was emerging from the Second World War in a state of deep devastation; the process of reconstruction was getting started, industry needed raw materials and nothing could be wasted. The area’s deeply rooted culture of re-use and recycling in farming was naturally transferred to the collection and recycling of metals.
So began our history, which, without ever betraying our origins, brought us to Bologna in 1952. Now, with over 50 years experience behind us, we are an established business with a long and solid track record. We take care of the entire recycling chain, from the collection of scrap metal, through transport and handling, to the supply of quality metals.
Our customers have long included Italy’s leading steel and metal producers. Every day brings new challenges: our markets are extending to the rest of Europe, the Mediterranean and Asia. But the original spirit of the founders, our respect for work and for people, our care for the environment and our recognition of tradition still play a key role in the everyday life of the company.
