Gov. Kemp: Aurubis to Open State-of-the-Art Recycling and Copper Smelting Facility in Augusta
Atlanta, GA Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Aurubis, one of the leading recyclers of copper, precious metals, and non-ferrous materials worldwide, will invest $340 million (300 million) in a state-of-the-art recycling and secondary smelting facility for multi-metal recycling in Augusta. This new facility will be the very first of its kind in the U.S. and will create 125 jobs in the Augusta area.
"We're glad to welcome Aurubis to the number one state for business, marking the singlelargest investment made by a German company in the State of Georgia," said Governor Kemp. "Our ports system, highly-skilled workforce, and pro-business environment - which prioritizes partnership and innovation - have once again attracted a top-notch opportunity for hardworking Georgians in Augusta. Aurubis will now join more than 500 German companies with operations in Georgia, and this project underscores the strengths of our exceptional state and local economic development teams."
Aurubis' commitment to sustainable development and to raw material security will play a role in building Georgia's electric mobility value chain. From Augusta, the company plans to produce materials found in lithium-ion batteries and other electronics.
"With this investment, we are setting a clear example of sustainable growth, and will become a forerunner for multi-metal recycling in the U.S. as well a role that we already have in Europe now," said Roland Harings, CEO of Aurubis AG.
Aurubis will build its facility on 150 acres at Augusta Corporate Park, which is a "Georgia Ready for Accelerated Development (GRAD) Certified" site. Operations are expected to begin by the first half of 2024, and the company plans to begin hiring for positions as soon as summer 2022. Individuals interested in opportunities with Aurubis are encouraged to visit www.aurubis.com/en/career/jobs for additional information.
