Aurubis Richmond

With the launch of commissioning of the first US multimetal recycling plant in September 2025, Aurubis began producing strategic metals like copper, nickel, tin and precious metals for American energy infrastructure, data centers, AI applications, and the defense industry. We created more than 240 jobs in Georgia with an investment of approximately €740 million. With the expansion stage, the site will process up to 180,000 t of complex recycling material, including circuit boards, copper cable, and other metal-bearing products, annually starting in 2026. This makes it an ideal springboard for further growth in the US, which includes options for value chain expansion along with new strategic partnerships. We are scaling our value creation close to the most crucial resource and customer streams of the future.
