Aurubis approves automated copper-bearing intermediates preprocessing investment in Hamburg
On October 7, 2026, Aurubis announced approval of a new two-stage, sensor- and X-ray-assisted preprocessing facility for copper- and precious-metal-bearing intermediates at Hamburg, with commissioning planned for late 2028. The operational significance is more reliable sampling and valuation of complex feedstock, together with enclosed dust handling and less manual sorting; it is not a reported US cable-granulation expansion.
