The inclusion of Metallo sites in Beerse, Belgium, and Berango, Spain in its results starting June this year led to notable improvement in throughput of material with low metallic content. The Metallo acquisition has also resulted in expansion of its product portfolio and capabilities. The higher earnings were also on account of significantly higher refining charges for copper scrap and other recyclable materials, the company said.
Roland Harings, Executive Board Chairman, Aurubis AG noted that the integration of Metallo is progressing well completely according to plan. The company is confident of exceeding the targeted synergy potential of 10 to 15 million euros in the next three years, he added.
