Manufacturing in Cork
We develop solutions for metal recovery through our solvent extraction technologies. We work on solutions for the energy-saving, efficient and environment-friendly recovery of metals from ores such as copper, nickel, uranium and vanadium.

We produce a group of specialised reagents designed to extract non-ferrous metals at very high purity levels from their ores by solvent extraction. This technology has both environmental and economic advantages over traditional smelting technologies.

We export LIX^® reagents to customers in many countries, including the US, Canada, Peru, Chile, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Australia and China. We recover Alumat, a by-product Aluminium chloride solution, as a saleable product through a combination of recycling, concentration and purification technologies.

The Cork site was established by General Mills, and later acquired by Henkel and Cognis, before it was acquired by BASF in 2010.
