| News | German engineering group GEA has confirmed its loss-making zinc producer Ruhr-Zink GmbH will close at the end of 2008 after attempts to sell it failed. GEA had originally announced the closure in October 2008. After "the failure of a final round of talks with possible investors, GEA has decided finally to close Datteln-based Ruhr-Zink on 31 December". Ruhr-Zink had suffered from falling zinc prices and high German energy costs. "Considerable losses were to have been expected in coming years if operations had continued". Ruhr-Zink produces 140,000 tonnes of zinc and 150,000 tonnes of sulphuric acid a year. |
