Pyrum Innovations presented its tire pyrolysis technology at the Deutsche Börse Scale Summit. The company is targeting higher capacity and new partnerships.
Pyrum Innovations AG presented at the Deutsche Börse Scale Summit on June 23, 2026. Pascal Klein, chairman of the executive board, spoke to investors about the company's end-of-life tire recycling technology.
The Scale Summit is a dedicated event for companies listed on the Scale segment of Deutsche Börse. That segment targets small and mid-cap growth companies. Pyrum has been listed there since 2021.
Pyrum operates a pyrolysis plant in Dillingen, Germany. The process converts scrap tires into recovered carbon black, oil, and steel. The company has been working to scale capacity. It signed a long-term supply agreement with Continental in 2023 and has partnered with other tire manufacturers.
Klein's presentation covered the technology, the current production ramp, and the financial outlook. The company reported revenue of €4.2 million in 2025, up from €2.1 million the prior year. It remains unprofitable, with an operating loss of €8.5 million. The company is investing in a second production line and exploring licensing its technology to partners in other regions.
The Scale Summit gives Pyrum a platform to reach institutional investors who may not follow the stock closely. The company needs capital to fund its expansion. A successful presentation could lead to increased trading volume and potential follow-on financing.
Pyrum's stock trades on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker PYRIF on the OTC market in the U.S. The stock has been volatile, reflecting the early-stage nature of the business. The company's market capitalization is roughly €60 million.
The pyrolysis of tires is a niche but growing segment of the recycling industry. Traditional disposal methods include landfilling or incineration. Pyrolysis offers a way to recover valuable materials while reducing waste. The European Union's push for circular economy targets has created tailwinds for companies like Pyrum.
Competitors include Scandinavian Enviro Systems and Klean Industries. Pyrum differentiates itself through its continuous process technology and its partnerships with tire makers. The company claims its recovered carbon black can replace virgin carbon black in new tires, a key selling point.
Klein did not provide new financial guidance during the presentation. He reiterated the company's target of reaching EBITDA breakeven by 2028. The company expects the second production line to come online in the first half of 2027.
For investors tracking small-cap recycling plays, the Scale Summit is a key event. The summit runs through June 24 and includes presentations from about 30 other Scale-listed companies. Pyrum's next scheduled catalyst is the half-year report in August.
