With this facility, integrated into a quite complex infrastructure at the site in
Hamburg, Aurubis placed the basement for a sustainable downstream lead refining
operation which is able to cope with state of the art demand in occupational health
and safety, environmental protection and is well-prepared for up-coming challenges
in terms of growing complexity.
