General | The
Budel zinc smelter is situated on a 200 hectare site at Budel Dorplein in
the southeast of The Netherlands near the Belgian border and close to the
majority of its customers in the major industrial centres of The
Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and northern France. Budel also
owns approximately 550 hectares of adjacent land. The current electrolytic
plant was commissioned in 1973, replacing the thermal zinc recovery
operation that had existed on the site since 1892. The smelter uses RLE
technology. The expansion of the plant was completed in 2006.
The Budel smelter is situated near Weert in the south east of the
Netherlands, near the Belgian border and close to major European industrial
centres in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg and northern France.
Approximately 80% of total product sales are delivered to customers within
300 kilometres of the plant.
The smelter was commissioned in 1973, uses conventional RLE
technology and is one of Europe's most efficient zinc smelters in terms of
its metallurgical performance. It produced
approximately 212,000 tonnes of zinc in 2003, however, after the planned
expansion to 232,000 tonnes per year scheduled for 2004, it will be about
the ninth largest zinc smelter in the world. |

News | 2019
- Trafigura Group Pte Ltd., a market leader in the global commodities
industry, recently became the majority owner of the operating business of
Nyrstar, a global multi-metals business. “The closure of this capital
restructuring is excellent news for both Trafigura and Nyrstar,” said Jeremy
Weir, executive chairman and chief executive officer of Trafigura. “Nyrstar
is a significant global business that has been built on strong foundations.
The macro economic environment is positive for zinc concentrate and refined
zinc metal markets on a forward looking basis, and Nyrstar will be very
complementary to our existing trading activities. As an independently
operated company within the Group and with its restructured and strengthened
balance sheet, there is now the opportunity for Nyrstar to realise its full
potential.” Daniel Vanin has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of
the operating business of Nyrstar. With 40 years in the industry, he brings
extensive international mine and smelting development experience, alongside
strong management skills to the role. “I’ve already visited almost
every Nyrstar operation around the world. I’ve been impressed by the
fundamental strength of the assets, by the depth of technical knowledge of
the teams and by their passion for the work that they do. I’ve seen
many opportunities and solutions that could be implemented quickly. We will
also be able to draw on Trafigura’s technical, economic, and other
commercial expertise,” said Vanin. Over the next few months, a new
headquarters will be established at Nyrstar’s operations at Budel, in the
Netherlands. Members of Zurich-based staff whose roles are affected
have already been informed of these plans, with the employee consultation
process having taken place during July. |
