Umicore is the name of what was once called Union Minière, a Belgian
company with a two-century-old tradition in extracting, refining, and transforming
non-ferrous metals. Umicore has shifted its core activities from mining and
the production of commodity metals to the production, marketing, and recycling
of metal-based specialty materials.
In mid 2002, Umicore acquired Unaxis Materials AG in Balzers, Liechtenstein
along with its branches in Nashua, NH, USA, Providence, RI, USA, and in
Hsinchu Hsien, Taiwan. These acquisitions were merged into a new business
unit, Umicore Thin Film Products. The acquisitions enabled Umicore to expand
its activities in the field of thin film technologies. |
