About Vanilla Steel
Vanilla Steel is an independent digital B2B marketplace based in Berlin, specializing in the trading of excess and prime steel and metals across Europe.
Founded in 2020 by four co-founders with extensive digital experience, the company aims to simplify steel trade by making it easier to source and sell excess materials online. It operates as the only independent digital platform dedicated solely to steel in Europe. The company offers a range of services, including an electronic auction platform for sellers and buyers, tailored material offers, and AI-powered matchmaking to connect excess steel with suitable buyers. Vanilla Steel also provides logistics coordination, financing options, and market data to enhance transparency in transactions. With a network of over 500 suppliers and more than 3,000 buyers across 50 countries, Vanilla Steel plays a vital role in the metal trading industry, addressing challenges like overproduction and slow-moving inventory.
