By combining decades of lead metallurgy experience and cutting-edge casting and rolling mill equipment, we produce and supply premium anodes to hundreds of customers worldwide.
Our facilities in Europe and the US are best known for the highest quality anodes used in hydrometallurgical metal extraction (electrorefining and electrowinning of non-ferrous metals such as Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cd, Mn), as well as lead anodes for surface treatment. Our services include:
- Technical service and consultation around lead anodes for metal extraction
- Cast and rolled lead anodes after individual customer specification with:
- Individual head and blade lead alloys
- Straight and steer horn copper bars in different copper alloys
- If required, fully assembled with plastic spacers
- Lead anodes for surface treatment, e.g. lead anodes for Cr-plating
Our state-of-the-art smelting and production facilities supply a variety of special metals and alloys beyond lead, including:
- Antimony lead alloys
- Calcium/tin lead alloys
- Doré silver
- Tellurium lead alloys
- Tin lead alloys
- Copper lead alloys
