H.C. Starck Tungsten to Invest EUR 50 Million in Tungsten Recycling Expansion at Goslar Site

H.C. Starck Tungsten is investing approximately EUR 50 million to expand its tungsten recycling operations at its headquarters in Goslar, Germany. The project, the largest investment in the tungsten activities in Goslar in decades, was approved by its parent company, Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. The new facility will increase the site’s existing processing capacity by nearly 50 % to approximately 7000 t/a, making it Europe’s largest tungsten recovery plant. This will enable the Goslar operation to meet almost all of its tungsten requirements with recycled material. Today, recycled tungsten already accounts for around 80 % of the site’s raw material supply.

The expansion represents a key milestone in the MMC Group’s Mediumterm Management Strategy of “Creating the Future through Resource Circulation”. Construction is scheduled to begin in early November and is expected to be completed within 2028. “This decision marks a major milestone for our Goslar site and for our company as a whole,” said Hady Seyeda, CEO of H.C. Starck Tungsten. “Our ability to process almost exclusively recycled tungsten on site is a significant step toward the future. It will make us largely independent of the increasingly challenging supply situation for pri-mary raw materials while making a substantial contribution to establishing a genuine circular economy for critical metals in Germany and across Europe.” Hideyuki Ozawa, Head of Business Strategy of H.C. Starck Tungsten, added: “Given the current imbalance in the global supply and demand for tungsten, we aim to complete the expansion as soon as possible and fulfill our responsibility to ensure a stable supply.”

Due to the limited space available at the Metallurgy Park Oker, the existing buildings will be demolished in stages while operations continue uninterrupted. They will be gradually replaced by a new facility. A detailed project management approach has been developed to ensure that production activities can continue without disruption throughout the entire construction period.
