Aurubis

Yesterday, Aurubis successfully wrapped up the largest maintenance shutdown in company history at its Hamburg site. 🏗️ With roughly 500 individual tasks and an around € 95 million budget for plant maintenance and technical upgrades, we made important investments in the Hamburg plant’s efficiency and environmental protection. 💬 “We executed all the shutdown tasks with the highest quality – a technical and logistical tour de force, given the extreme complexity of the shutdown,” Aurubis Chief Transformation Officer Prof. Dr. Markus Kramer said. 👷 Around 2,000 people were involved in the large-scale project including 1,500 workers from partner companies, suppliers and service providers. ♨️ Along with the comprehensive maintenance and renewal work, we also executed two strategic projects during the shutdown that further expand Aurubis’ pioneering role in sustainability: The installation of hydrogen-ready anode furnaces and the expansion of our carbon-free industrial heat project. 💬 “This strategic investment represents another milestone along our path towards carbon neutrality, and demonstrates at the Hamburg site that as an industry, we are an important part of the solution for accelerating decarbonization,” Aurubis CEO Roland Harings emphasized. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of this shutdown! 🙏 #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #TomorrowMetals #Hamburg #Decarbonization

It is with deep regret that Aurubis confirms the occurrence of a fatal industrial accident.  During the loading of scaffolding parts near the Continuous Casting Plant at the Hamburg Plant, a worker employed by a contractor incurred a serious head wound today at around 10:15 a.m.  Rescue services were immediately mobilized. The Aurubis Plant Fire Department arrived at the site almost immediately and rendered the person first aid. The injured party was transported by ambulance to a close hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.  The responsible authorities are currently investigating the accident. Aurubis is cooperating fully with the responsible authorities to clarify the circumstances and causes of the accident. More information will be provided as soon as new findings are available.  "We are deeply saddened by this tragic accident and the resulting fatality," Aurubis Executive Board member and Director of Industrial Relations Markus Kramer emphasized. "We would like to express our deepest condolences to the relatives of the deceased and mourn this terrible loss." Full press release: https://lnkd.in/e7dSNANa

Hasta la vista in Chile! ✈️ Pablo Urzúa and Victor Chavez Martinez, the first participants in the bilateral employee exchange program between Aurubis and CODELCO – Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile, are on their way back to Chile after ten weeks. 🔄 With the exchange program, Aurubis and Codelco want to learn from each other and jointly raise the international standards for a sustainable copper production. The program takes place as part of the comprehensive cooperation agreement between both companies, which had been signed in February 2024. 💡Whether in Hamburg, at Aurubis Bulgaria or Aurubis Lünen: The two engineers gained interesting insights from the Aurubis colleagues they interacted with at all the sites visited during the carefully structured program. ⛵Outside of work, Pablo and Victor also enjoyed sailing with the company sailing team and attended a few concerts, where they got to know some colleagues and German culture a bit better. After all, personal exchange is important in establishing trust and working together successfully. 🙏 Thanks to Pablo and Viktor for their interest in Aurubis and for the exciting look into the world of Codelco! Now our colleagues are looking forward to visited Codelco in Chile this fall. #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #TomorroMetals #Codelco
