Ore and metal processing

Metalrecycling and processingoperations

In the GEOPARK Sachsens Mitte, metal processing and metal recycling companies play an important role in the local economy and the sustainable development of the region. The large number of companies in this sector demonstrates the long tradition and expertise in metal processing that has emerged from the region's industrial heritage.

These companies are not only responsible for the manufacture of metal products, but also for the recycling of metals, which makes a decisive contribution to resource conservation and waste prevention. Metal recycling helps to reuse valuable materials and minimize environmental impact.

In addition, these companies strive to integrate innovative technologies and environmentally friendly production processes in order to both secure their competitiveness and reduce their ecological impact.

Overall, the metal processing and recycling sector in the Central Saxony Geopark is an important part of the regional economy, combining both tradition and future-oriented developments.
