Copper and silver ore were mined in Tyrol and refined into pure metals in Brixlegg into the 20th century. As mining has declined from around 1890 onwards, ever-larger amounts of copper-containing secondary materials have been used as raw materials for producing metal in place of ore. Montanwerke Brixlegg is now purely an upcycling company. With over 350 employees based at our Brixlegg location, Montanwerke Brixlegg AG is a key industry leader in western Austria.
Our Brixlegg plant uses cutting-edge technology for copper recycling and refining. To stay on top of our steep international competition, we continuously refine our processes for extracting valuable metals, working closely together with both Austrian and international universities.
