Umicore is a global group specializing in advanced materials and recycling. Located in Kokkola is a highly automated hydrometallurgical refinery. It is the largest cobalt refinery outside of China and a significant part of the European battery value chain as a manufacturer of cathode precursors. The cathode precursors refined in Kokkola are processed into active cathode materials at Umicore’s other cathode production facilities, which are then used in lithium-ion batteries, mobile devices, and electric vehicles. Safety and respect for the environment are always a priority, as is the ethical sourcing of raw materials, such as cobalt. We are the world’s first company to receive certification for responsible cobalt sourcing (RMI certification). <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our production commenced in 1968, with roots in the Outokumpu Group and the manufacturing of cobalt, cobalt-based powders, and chemicals. We have been part of the Umicore Group since 2019. Approximately 400 professionals work in various roles in Kokkola. Our own research and development department, pilot plant, and extensive laboratory also enable high-quality product development. We have also successfully designed, implemented, and launched new production lines under the leadership of our skilled personnel. Today, the electricity we use is 100% renewable energy. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
