🤠❤️ Aurubis Richmond Proudly Supports the American Red Cross ❤️🤠   Aurubis Richmond was honored to sponsor and participate in the American Red Cross Boot Scoot Boogie Bash, a special event dedicated to supporting disaster relief efforts across our communities.    Held in Augusta, this one-night celebration brings people together to make a meaningful impact—helping the Red Cross continue its mission of preventing and alleviating human suffering during emergencies and times of need.    We’re especially proud of our employees who took part in the evening, showing their commitment to giving back and supporting those affected by disasters, home fires, and other critical situations. Their participation reflects the strong sense of community and compassion that defines Aurubis Richmond.   Thank you to the American Red Cross for the incredible work you do every day—and for giving us the opportunity to be part of such an important cause.

Celebrating 160 Years of Multimetal Excellence On April 28, 2026, Aurubis proudly celebrated its 160th birthday—marking more than a century and a half of innovation, growth, and leadership in multimetal.   At our Richmond site, employees recognized this milestone following our monthly Town Hall, where David Alexander Schultheis, Richmond President and COO, reflected on Aurubis’ rich history and shared our continued commitment to building a strong, sustainable future. The celebration continued with cookies and punch as we honored both our past and what lies ahead.   And we’re just getting started! 🎂   The Richmond team will continue celebrating this historic milestone in the months ahead with fun activities, giveaways, and friendly competitions. Here’s to 160 years—and counting—of shaping the future together. 💙

🌎 Earth Day Augusta 2026 was a blast! 🌱 From 10AM–3PM at the Augusta Common, the community came together to celebrate our planet—and Aurubis Richmond was proud to be one of the event sponsors!   Our booth was buzzing all day long with free giveaways like coloring books, sunglasses, candy, and seeds. The real stars, though, were our seven amazing employee volunteers who gave up their Saturday to help set up and run the booth. 💙👏   People were drawn in by the high-energy team, the well-organized setup, the great goodies—and of course, the kid-favorite bubble machine! 🫧😄 A huge thank-you to our volunteers for representing Aurubis Richmond so well and helping make Earth Day Augusta a fun, memorable, and meaningful event for everyone who stopped by.

Copper demand is surging — and the gap between supply and demand is widening. The latest Bloomberg News reportage highlights how AI, data centers, and electrification are accelerating copper demand — while new primary supply takes decades to develop. At Aurubis Richmond, we are addressing this challenge from a different angle. 🔧 By recovering metals from complex recycling materials, we keep valuable resources in the US and feed them back into domestic value chains. ♻️ As highlighted in the Bloomberg piece, recycling alone will not close the gap — but it is the fastest and most resource-efficient way to strengthen supply in the near term. 📈 With Aurubis Richmond, we bring advanced multimetal recycling capacity to the US — processing around 180 000 t of materials annually and producing critical metals for key industries. We are proud that both our CEO Dr. Toralf Haag and our President of Aurubis Richmond, David Schultheis contributed to this important discussion in the reportage — underlining the role of recycling in securing future supply. As our Dr. Haag emphasized, securing access to critical metals is becoming a defining factor for industrial competitiveness — and for national resilience.

Heroes United for Hope! On Saturday, April 18, our community came together at the Mill Village Trailhead in Augusta, GA for Child Enrichment’s Heroes for Hope 5K Run/Walk—and Aurubis Richmond was proud to serve as the Ultimate Hero Sponsor for this meaningful event.    This fun, family‑friendly event encouraged participants of all ages to lace up their sneakers and dress up as their favorite superheroes, creating a lively and inspiring atmosphere filled with capes, courage, and community spirit.   Most importantly, Heroes for Hope supports Child Enrichment, an organization that provides free therapy and advocacy services for children in the CSRA who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trafficking. By supporting this event, Aurubis Richmond helped make a real difference in the lives of children and families who need it most.    Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and showed their superhero spirit. Together, we’re proving that when a community comes together, hope truly wins.

Confined Space Rescue Training From April 13–15, 17 Aurubis Richmond employees across multiple shifts completed Confined Space Rescue training led by EMED. This training is critical—most confined space injuries and fatalities occur when others rush in to help without proper training or equipment. Prepared rescuers save lives without becoming victims themselves. 👏 Thank you to our EHS team and EMED for strengthening safety where it matters most.

Aurubis Richmond is proud to be part of the ReMA 2026 Convention and Exposition, happening April 13–16 in Las Vegas—bringing together leaders from across the recycled materials industry to share insights, innovation, and best practices.   We were especially honored to see David Schultheis, President & Managing Director of Aurubis Richmond, speak at the event, where he highlighted Aurubis’ strong commitment to community involvement and partnership throughout Richmond and the surrounding counties. From workforce development and education to volunteerism and local support initiatives, community engagement remains a cornerstone of how we operate and lead.   Thank you to ReMA for providing a powerful platform to showcase how sustainability, industry leadership, and community impact go hand in hand.   🔗 Learn more about the event: www.rema.org

📚💛 Giving Back, One Book at a Time 💛📚 At Aurubis Richmond, our commitment to the community goes beyond the work we do—it’s about investing in the future of the places where we live and work. That’s why we’re proud to host our Book Bash, encouraging employees to donate new or gently used books in support of the United Way of the CSRA’s June 2026 Summer Event. This initiative helps ensure children across our community have access to books and are inspired to read all summer long.
