Aurubis to intensify expansion in non-copper metals – CEO

Aurubis, Europe’s biggest copper smelter, will boost its expansion into the production of metals other than copper, its new chief executive officer said on Thursday.

"We will undertake over-proportional expansion metals which are not copper," new CEO Roland Harings said in an advance release of a speech at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Hamburg.

"We will look for new options to grow through acquisitions," Harings said. "The good news: we have the financial means for this. We will deliver successes in this area until 2023, especially in the recycling business."
