MORE THAN COPPER

While copper cathodes and billets are our core business, a variety of specialty products are created in the upcycling process: from gold or silver to nickel sulfate and iron silicate stone. Metallic impurities such as zinc, tin and lead are collected in filter dusts and recycled in specialized refineries. Flowbrix, our own fungicide for plant protection and organic farming, complements our product portfolio.

GREEN COPPER – ALSO FOR YOUR INDUSTRY

Mobility

On the road to net zero, we have to fundamentally rethink our mobility concepts. We need raw materials to create the conditions for the mobility of the future. But where should these come from? We upcycle copper for the systems of tomorrow.

Telecommunications & Electronics

Copper is an unavoidable part of the upcoming technological change. Whether as an energy or data conductor, in sensitive or hazardous environments. Copper is always there – with BRX copper sustainably and from 100% recycled raw material.

Renewable Energies

To achieve net zero, our energy mix must undergo fundamental changes. Renewable energies, from wind power to photovoltaics, geothermal energy and hydropower, are the cornerstones of this long-term transition. You can obtain the copper for this from us, certified and tested, with 100% upcycled content.

Construction

Pipes, cables, roofs, various applications. Copper has been an important raw material for our civilization for centuries. Where will you get this raw material from in the future? Our green copper BRX GREEN – made from 100% secondary raw materials – is the alternative to energy- and resource-intensive copper from primary sources.

Resilient energy networks

A constantly changing energy mix and a variety of new energy sources are posing massive challenges for our grids. In the coming years, massive investments in grid expansion are needed to pave the way for net zero and the associated energy transition. For this, we need new transformers, lines, storage facilities, in short, an avalanche of raw materials and, above all, copper. From Brixlegg in the future?
