Who we are
About us
HARZ OXID GMBH is a young company founded in October 2020 by the Belgian-Mexican consortium JGI Hydrometal and Zinc Nacional.
We produce Waelz oxide in our rotary kiln plant according to the Waelz process. Waelz oxide is used as a starting material for the extraction of metallic zinc.
The former Harzer Hüttenwerke were built as early as 1527 by Duke Heinrich the Younger of Wolfenbüttel as a lead and copper smelting works named Frau- Marien - (Saiger) -Hütte.
We offer an environmentally friendly recycling process for customers in the steel, iron and galvanic industry and their zinc-containing waste.
Open doors, a high degree of personal responsibility and short decision-making paths enable a team of highly motivated, open-minded employees. We are already defining the standards of the future.
Because we already understand tomorrow today, we are able to define new goals and go the way there together. We cultivate a high level of personal responsibility and build on clarity and trust, thus enjoying a dialogue with all partners at eye level.
We believe that relationships are built based on humility, respect and integrity, whether it be relationships with partners and employees, or with the environment.
Our common goal is to achieve a continuous and sustainable improvement in our performance. Therefore, every manager and every employee must be committed to the quality of our products, the satisfaction of our customers, the trust of our stakeholders and our environmental performance.
We abide and comply with established rules; we work safely and are committed to punctuality, planning, order, and formality. We are prudent with decisions pertaining to the environment and our use of natural resources.
Health protection is an essential prerequisite for our daily business.
We are particularly vigilant in complying with the associated legal requirements and protecting the health of all employees, in particular by using personal protective equipment and appropriate instructions.
We pay attention to suitable work and production equipment.
Early recognition of risks and prevention of dangers are permanently in our focus. As an industrial company, we pay attention to suitable work and production equipment so that every single employee can work under the best possible conditions.
