Aurubis AG announced a €16 million investment in its Stolberg copper rolling mill, signaling a competitive enhancement. This investment covers two key machines: a bell annealing furnace and a stretch bend leveler, aimed at expanding strip production capacity with increased flexibility. These upgrades promise enhanced reliability, process security, and occupational safety.

The new stretch bend leveler, costing €7 million, enables efficient fabrication for 600 mm wide strips. This step enhances product quality while setting new safety standards. The €9 million bell annealing furnace, now powered by electricity instead of natural gas, reduces energy use by 20% and cuts direct CO2 emissions by 25%.

Aurubis' commitment aligns with the 'Tomorrow Metals by Aurubis' sustainability pledge, aiming for better energy efficiency and reduced emissions. This investment marks a milestone for the Stolberg site, positioning it for future development and resilience following past regional setbacks.
