About AURA Technologie
AURA Technologie GmbH specializes in the production of metal concentrates from valuable metal-bearing residues, particularly from the chemical and petrochemical industries. The company, based in Helbra in the Mansfeld-Südharz district, is part of AMG Critical Materials N.V. and operates modern production facilities at its site in the 'Hundertacker' industrial estate, employing a broad spectrum of processing methods. The focus is on the recovery of spent catalysts (Spent Catalyst Recovery), from which important industrial transition metals are recovered. In doing so, AURA closes material loops, conserves natural resources, and supplies customers from the steel and chemical industries worldwide with raw materials. At the same time, the company offers producers disposal services for metal-bearing residues, which may be classified as hazardous waste. The site continues the centuries-old tradition of the region in the mining and processing of valuable metals.
