Trasteel Holding announced on 7 October 2026 that its subsidiary, Trasteel International, had completed the acquisition of the remaining 40% stake in Italian ferroalloy company BBC Alloys from Metco. The transaction makes BBC Alloys a wholly owned subsidiary of the group.
The acquisition closed on 30 September 2026 for approximately €1.7 million. Trasteel had acquired a 60% controlling interest in BBC Alloys in June 2025.
Headquartered in Milan, BBC Alloys supplies steel mills and foundries in Italy and across Europe. Its activities include the trading, processing and distribution of standard and noble ferroalloys, as well as basic and minor metals. Its processing and logistics hub in Tortona provides crushing, screening, sizing, sieving and bagging services.
According to Trasteel, BBC Alloys has progressively joined the group’s procurement, logistics and financing platform since the initial acquisition.
BBC Alloys recorded revenue of €89 million in 2025, up 8.7% year on year, while trading volumes increased by 8.5%. Revenue reached €63.9 million in the first half of 2026, compared with €49.3 million a year earlier, based on unaudited management accounts.
BBC Alloys has been fully consolidated in Trasteel’s financial statements since June 2025. The latest transaction therefore eliminates the minority interest rather than adding these revenues to the group’s consolidated results for the first time.
Lorenzo Bagliano will continue as CEO of BBC Alloys and will also assume responsibility for the group’s ferroalloys activities. The company’s board will comprise Gianfranco Imperato as chairman, Bagliano as CEO and Federico Guiducci as director.
