About HOESCH Metallurgie
HOESCH Metallurgie GmbH is part of the family-run HOESCH Group based in Düren and has been developing and producing chemical and metallurgical products for the treatment of liquid metals since 1865, with a focus on Aluminum. The product portfolio includes powder metallurgy alloying additives in the form of tablets and briquettes, Dursalit® melting preparations for refining and treating molten metal, pre-alloys based on primary aluminum or copper with alloying contents of 2 to 50 percent, pure metals such as magnesium, manganese, silicon, titanium, and copper, as well as Ceral® foundry ceramics that withstand repeated thermal shocks as carrier media for filter media. HOESCH Granules GmbH in Neuss manufactures granules and metal powders. Additionally, the HOESCH Metallurgical Service Team offers metallurgical analyses and measurements on site or in its own laboratory and technical center, training, foundry consulting, and as an official ABB Service Center, the sales, maintenance, and repair of ABB analysis equipment. Customers include aluminum smelters, semi-finished and remelting plants, and casting foundries worldwide.
