Aurubis AG: Leading global selenium producer RETORTE secures growth in future markets with new facility

• RETORTE continues to expand global market leadership in the specialized selenium production market and remains an important employer in the region 
• Largest single investment in RETORTE company history secures worldwide growth potential in high-margin food and pharmaceutical markets 
• The approximately € 7 million investment boosts production capacity by 20 % and strengthens the site in Röthenbach as a building block in the Aurubis multimetal material cycle

Röthenbach a.d. Pegnitz, May 12, 2025 — RETORTE GmbH, global market leader in the specialized market for high-purity selenium products and subsidiary of leading global multimetal manufacturer Aurubis AG, inaugurated a new selenium production facility today. The € 7 million for the highly automated facility marks the largest individual investment in the company’s history and expands capacities by about 20%. RETORTE is establishing a technological landmark with the facility certified in accordance with good manufacturing practice (GMP) and will be able to supply sophisticated future markets in pharmaceuticals and food technology.

“Selenium is an important material — indispensable in trace amounts but technologically demanding in its production. Our new facility demonstrates how we unite industrial efficiency, product purity, and sustainability in the Aurubis material cycle,” Aurubis AG COO Tim Kurth said. “RETORTE holds a crucial role, producing internationally in-demand specialty products from a co-product of our copper smelting.”

The facility fulfills all GMP standards — a closed production cycle prevents impurities and guarantees the highest purity. For RETORTE Managing Director Steffan Huber, this is a milestone: “We are sustainably meeting the stringent standards of the health and wellness sectors while boosting our competitive edge at the same time. This secures our access to attractive future markets — in South America and Asia, for instance — and enables us to offer custom solutions internationally.”
