About Boliden
1.1 Europe’s producer of sustainable metals
By caring for people, the environment and society, Boliden provides metals that are essential for the development of society. From our own mines and smelters, we extract and produce high-quality metals with good climate performance. We produce copper, zinc, nickel and lead which are all necessary for the climate transition and can be found in a number of innovation-critical areas such as production of electric cars or car batteries.
With extensive experience, a high level of skills and leading technology we work towards reaching our vision to be the most climate friendly and respected metal provider in the world
1.2 Our metal productionOur value chain begins in exploration and through our mines, concentrators and smelters we create the metals that make climate transition possible. To a large extent, the conditions for our success depend on the surroundings of the operations, local stakeholders such as indigenous people and neighboring communities, as well as other factors like good energy supply.
1.3 Exploration
We search for new mineral deposits through exploration, mainly in the vicinity of our existing mines and in new areas. In this way, we contribute to secure the future of our business and take long-term responsibility for the supply of metals of the highest quality to society. We focus on mineral deposits containing zinc, copper, lead, nickel, gold, palladium, platinum and silver.
1.4 Mines
We extract ore from open pits and underground mines. Thanks to modern technological developments, mining methods and our expertise in mining design, our production is of the highest class from drilling and blasting to loading and crushing. We separate minerals from crushed ore in our concentrators. The end products are various mineral concentrates that are shipped to smelters for further processing. Exhausted parts of the mine are refilled, and sand from the concentrators is collected in tailing dams.
1.5 Smelters
In our smelters we refine mineral concentrates from our own and other mines into pure metals which are delivered to our customers. Thanks to our technical expertise and flexible processes, we can extract metals from complex raw materials and produce metals of very high quality. We are also the market leader in electronics recycling and lead recovery from car batteries. This operation is governed by stringent environmental conditions in the same way as our mines and it is monitored both by ourselves and supervisory authorities.

Instead, it meant Boliden's second biggest investment project ever could be carried out in Garpenberg in 2014. That was when a new production plant was opened that increased annual production from 1.5 million tons to 2.5 million tons, thus reducing unit costs and boosting Boliden's competitiveness in the global market. It also saw the development of and investment in industry-leading and largely automated technology that made Garpenberg more operationally reliable, eco-friendly and cost-effective. The expansion also secures jobs for a long time ahead, which benefits suppliers, contractors and the local community.
