CASE STUDY

GSE provided complete engineering services for the first secondary smelter for multimetal recycling in the United States. Secondary smelting recycles circuit boards, copper cables, and other metal-containing materials. The 300,000-square-foot plant will have the capacity to process over 180,000 tons of complex recycling materials annually. In addition to producing blister copper, Aurubis will further process the intermediate product in its overseas facilities to recover silver, gold and other precious metals. This project represents Aurubis’ first greenfield project outside the EU with an investment of $800 million.
