The company is engaged in the research, extraction, processing and marketing of all kinds of minerals, particularly zinc, and associated products. The company is one of the largest producers of zinc in the world. The company was established in October 1957 in San Juan de Nieva, Castrillón, Asturias, as a Spanish company. The company's products are organized in the following groups: metals, comprised of electrolytic zinc, electrolytic copper, cadmium and mercury; zinc alloys for die-casting, gravity casting, galvanizing, zinc plating, cathodic protection and rolling; chemicals, including sulfuric acid, zinc dust, zinc oxide, germanium oxide and copper sulfate, and commercial products, such as zinc-copper-titanium alloys, germanium oxide, liquid sulfur dioxide and other products. The company is also active in the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and Peru. Its main operating centers include the San Juan de Nieva electrolytic zinc plant with a production capacity of 460,000 tons per year; the Arnao manufacturing facility which produces oxide and dust, rolled zinc and wiredrawing; the Hinojedo factory with activities consisting of the roasting of zinc concentrates (zinc sulphide), obtaining zinc oxide (calcine) and liquid sulphur dioxide as the end products; and the Reocin mine which consists of three production departments: open-cast workings, underground mine and the concentration plant.
