Umicore, a world-wide Group
We are a materials technology group. Our activities are centred on four business areas: Precious Metals Services, Precious Metals Products and Catalysts, Advanced Materials and Zinc Specialties.
Each business unit area is divided into market-focused business units. Each business unit is responsible for its own performance, where the management is encouraged to develop an entrepreneurial spirit.
We focus on application areas where our expertise in materials science, chemistry and metallurgy can make a real difference, be it in products that are essential to everyday life or those at the cutting edge of new technological developments.
Our target of sustainable value creation is based on our ambition to develop, produce and recycle materials and offer material solutions, in line with our mission: materials for a better life.
Umicore believes in decentralised decision making, so that those who operate close to the market are empowered as much as possible. We provide Group services and support where there is a clear value added in doing so.
The Umicore Group has industrial operations on all continents. We are present in more than 100 locations in 35 countries.
