Flanders Metals Day at Aurubis & Umicore

During this first Flanders Metals Day of 2023 we are able to offer our members 2 different company visits merged into one! As the plants of Umicore and Aurubis in Olen are just next to each other, these 2 FMV members have joined forces and are opening their plants for a combined Flanders Metals Valley visit.

Both companies are specialized in transforming metal concentrates, scrap metals and metal-bearing recycling materials into metals.

Aurubis in Olen is specialized in the production of copper anodes, copper cathodes, Aurubis Rod, Aurubis Foxrod and Aurubis bars & profiles. With the copper products they lay the solid foundation for the gigatrends of the future as digitalization, e-mobility, … The plant in Olen employs over 630 employees who, together with the complete Aurubis Group, aim for a green future of sustainable possibilities and solutions.

Umicore is a leading specialist in the circular materials technology. The plant in Olen revolves around recycling, clean technology, research, development and the production of high-tech materials based on cobalt and germanium. These materials can be found in rechargeable batteries and solar energy which makes Umicore, next to their key role in other industrial sectors, a key player in the transformation towards a carbon-free mobility.
