Leading the way in precious metals recovery

Umicore uses a unique metallurgical flowsheet to process complex materials containing precious metals, lead, copper, and nickel from global sources. As a top processor of non-ferrous industry byproducts, we handle materials like dross, slag, matte, flue dust, residues, filter cake, tankhouse slimes and copper cement.

Precious metals are essential to modern life—powering electronics, cleaning emissions and enabling chemical production. They are also infinitely recyclable.

Active in precious metals since 1887, Umicore has led the refining of complex materials for over 25 years. Our advanced flowsheet, sampling expertise, and strong ethical standards ensure efficient, sustainable metal recovery. We transform end-of-life products into valuable materials, turning waste into tomorrow’s resources.
