Usually Metalmont manufactures equipment for agriculture, but when working with metal, some pieces remain. One day the Operations Manager decided to “play” with these pieces and cut some animals to put in Metalmont’ s garden. Here the idea! We could recycle pieces of metal, that otherwise would be thrown away, to make original objects to sell online or through other channels. Now you have the opportunity to play with these pieces too, unleashing your creativity and imagination!
