Trends in recycling of precious metals

Information agency Credinform has prepared a review of trends of the largest Russian companies engaged in recycling of scrap and waste of precious metal.

The largest companies (TOP-500) in terms of annual revenue were selected for the analysis according to the data from the Statistical Register and the Federal Tax Service for the latest available periods (2014-2019). The analysis was based on the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Net assets are total assets less total liabilities. This indicator reflects the real value of the property of an enterprise. When the company’s debt exceeds the value of its property, the indicator is considered negative (insufficiency of property).

The largest company in term of net assets is JSC INCORPARATED ELECTROTECHNICAL PLANTS, INN 7716523950, Moscow. In 2019, net assets value of the company amounted to 3,4 billion RUB.

The lowest net assets value among TOP-500 belonged to LLC LOMPROM ROSTOV, INN 6155043760, Rostov region. In 2019, insufficiency of property of the organization was indicated in negative value of -6,2 billion RUB.
