History

In July, 1989, Multimetco purchased the precious metals refinery from Texasgulf Minerals and Metals, a subsidiary of the large French oil and chemical company Elf Aquitaine, Inc. The plasma arc furnace was developed during the 1970's to recover precious metals from scrapped automobile catalytic converters, which began appearing on automobiles in the 1970's. Multimetco has continually modified and improved the plasma arc technology to better recover precious metals from automobile catalytic converters as well as from several other types of catalyst as well.
