Aurubis

Aurubis is proud to be part of the H4Cu project "Natural gas substitution with hydrogen in the production of semi-finished copper products" – a major step forward in decarbonizing our industry. 🤝 Together with partners like KME, SMS group, and leading academic institutions like TUBAF | Fakultät für Maschinenbau, Verfahrens- und Energietechnik with its institutes (INEMET (Institut für Nichteisen-Metallurgie und Reinststoffe), IKFVW, and MTK), we aim to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions by replacing natural gas with hydrogen in copper manufacturing processes. 🏭 Aurubis plays a key role in advancing hydrogen-powered solutions through the support of development of H₂-compatible shaft furnaces, analysis of hydrogen’s impact on copper quality, and preparation of practical trials at the Hamburg site with an H₂-driven burner in a shaft furnace.  🔬 Over the next three years, we’ll combine experimental research, advanced modeling, and practical trials to lay the foundation for industrial-scale hydrogen applications in copper manufacturing. The H4Cu project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz) and supported by Projektträger Jülich (PtJ).    Marie Bolay, Torben Edens #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #CommittedtoDeliver #TomorrowMetals #Hydrogen #Copper #Decarbonization

Today, Aurubis marks a significant milestone in sustainable metal recycling in Europe. At Aurubis Olen, Belgium, we inaugurated a state-of-the-art recycling plant that will recover valuable metals such as nickel and copper, further strengthening our commitment to innovation and the circular economy. ♻️ The new hydrometallurgical bleed treatment plant, BOB (Bleed treatment Olen Beerse), is a groundbreaking addition to Aurubis international smelter network. With an investment of € 85 million and the creation of over 30 new jobs, BOB enables us to process electrolyte streams from our tankhouses in Beerse and Olen, keeping more strategically important metals in the European production cycle. Fully aligned with the highest environmental standards, this facility sets new benchmarks in energy efficiency and resource responsibility. 💬 Inge Hofkens, Aurubis COO Multimetal Recycling, highlights the broader significance of the plant: “BOB clearly demonstrates our commitment to innovation and a circular economy. With this facility, we are taking recycling to the next level, as it allows us to optimally process valuable metals from dynamic and continuously changing input materials and recycling markets. We are committed to expanding our leading role in sustainability in line with our Tomorrow Metals promise and we continuously strive to use resources even more responsibly.” 🙏 This achievement was only possible thanks to the dedication of the Aurubis team. Hans Van de Water, Managing Director Aurubis Olen, expressed his pride: “Today marks a significant point in our company's history: The new recycling plant now enables us to cover the full production cycle in-house — a true milestone for the Olen plant. This is the result of the collective efforts of our entire team. It makes me proud to see that everyone played their part, from the design and construction phase to commissioning.” With BOB, Aurubis continues to deliver on its strategic roadmap, reinforcing its leadership in multimetal recycling and contributing to a more sustainable and circular future for Europe. #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #CommittedtoDeliver #TomorrowMetals #Recycling #CircularEconomy 

The importance of strategic partnerships in securing raw material supplies is becoming increasingly evident — especially for critical raw materials (CRMs) essential to Europe's economic future and the green transition. 🐉 As part of the EU-Argentina mission, Aurubis had the honor of welcoming a delegation from Argentina, led by the Luis E. Lucero, Secretary of State for Mining, and Marcelo Orrego, Governor of San Juan Province, accompanied by the Argentine Ambassador to Germany, Fernando Brun, today in Hamburg. 🔍 The meeting focused on exchanging ideas about the challenges and opportunities for a diversified and sustainable supply of raw materials. We also took the opportunity to present our comprehensive environmental protection measures, showcasing our commitment to sustainable practices in raw material processing and supply chains. 🇦🇷 Argentina is driving ambitious investment plans to strengthen its mining and resource sectors. These developments offer potential for future collaboration. 🇪🇺 Agreements such as the EU-Mercosur pact can play a pivotal role in fostering stronger economic ties and facilitating the trade of essential resources between the regions. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the EU for facilitating this visit and to Secretary Lucero, Governor Orrego, ambassador Brun, and the entire delegation for the productive exchange. #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #Argentina #EU #CriticalRawMaterials #Mercosur | Jennifer Howe

After 13 eventful years at Aurubis, my journey with this outstanding company will come to an end shortly before Christmas. This decision was not made lightly or overnight, and I will be leaving the company with a heavy heart. During my time at #Aurubis, I focused on keeping all stakeholders informed, building and maintaining trust, and representing the company to the best of my ability. Throughout my time overseeing Investor Relations, Corporate Communications, Sustainability, Event Management, and Social Engagement — and helping found Women4Metals — I’ve had the chance to be part of meaningful projects and initiatives. I am grateful for the trust, professionalism and collaboration I experienced every day. It has been a privilege to work with inspiring colleagues across all areas of the company — from the Executive Board to managers in production and Group functions, and many others who contributed to our success. Today, I’d like to take the opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made these years so special. I am deeply thankful for the collaboration with the many teams I had the pleasure of working with, and especially my own team colleagues. We celebrated victories, tackled hurdles, and shared moments that will stay with me. I would also like to thank our external supporters and partners for their valuable advice and cooperation over the years. Together, we achieved a lot and navigated challenges with determination and resilience. Aurubis will always hold a special place in my heart, and I am proud of the journey we shared. As I take a break in 2025, I look forward to embracing new challenges and opportunities in the future — wherever they may lead. In the meantime, I wish everyone at Aurubis continued success and send my best wishes for the holiday season and the new year ahead! All the best, Angela
