About us
Since 1990, SYPRA GmbH has been an internationally active trading company with a focus on Europe, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. As a reliable interface between these markets, SYPRA connects producers in Central Asia with the stainless steel and superalloy industry in Europe and the USA. The company trades in particular in ferroalloys, special and superalloys, rare earths — and, through the NIOB brand, in strategic metals such as niobium, ferroniobium, hafnium and tungsten.
01
Our success is based not only on innovation but, above all, on reliable partnerships between Europe and Central Asia. Over three decades, SYPRA has built sustainable relationships with producers, recycling companies and industrial end users.
The NIOB brand bundles the group’s expertise in the purchasing, instrumental analysis and valuation of strategic metals — niobium, ferroniobium, niobium alloys, powder, turnings and industrial residues.
02
Primary raw materials are limited. Through professional recycling we recover high-quality secondary raw materials and reduce the need for energy-intensive new extraction. This is how we combine ecological responsibility with economic efficiency.
Our standard is high-quality recycling: through careful sorting, analysis and processing, metals and valuable materials are reintroduced into industrial production processes — as far as possible without any loss of quality.
03
Our goal is to return waste to the economic cycle through innovative processes. Recycling strategic metals is today a decisive contribution to climate protection, human rights and biodiversity.
01
Increased recycling reduces the need for newly extracted raw materials. This reduces energy-intensive mining and production processes — significantly lowering CO₂ emissions and making an important contribution to climate protection.
02
High demand for metals promotes problematic working conditions, especially child labor in parts of Africa. More recycling reduces the demand for new mining and can thus indirectly help prevent child labor in dangerous mines.
03
Raw material extraction contributes to the destruction of rainforests, causing the loss of habitats of endangered species — such as gorillas. Sustainable raw material extraction, recycling and stricter environmental standards help protect biodiversity and habitats.
