Metallo

Metallo operates in the worldwide secondary metals market, and is a specialized secondary refiner of non-ferrous metals.

Metallo is specialized in multi-metal refining of non-ferrous metals. The Group is a unique global player with the highest level set-up of pyro- and hydrometallurgical processes which can treat the most complex secondary raw materials, and refine them into pure metal commodities to supply the metal consuming industry.
