Our technOlOgysets us apartOutotec is a technology company that designs and delivers tailored solutions covering minerals and metals, water, energy, and biomass.
Our role is to build entire operations literally from the ground up. This means assessing an ore body or other material’s potential before going on to de-sign each part of the process that will transform it into a profitable resource. This necessitates exten-sive use of our wide base of IPRs and expert per-sonnel to deliver resource-efficient, environmen-tally sound, economically viable solutions tailored to meet the customer’s needs. We then continue to ensure that these solutions function at maximum capacity for the duration of their life cycle.
There is no other company that can deliver such a wide range of applications. Outotec’s unique po-sition is built on a century of scientific knowledge and project delivery, which has earned us the solid reputation that often serves to guarantee a proj-ect’s feasibility to the industry at large.
Many of our solutions have been certified in the Eu-ropean Union as best available techniques (BAT). These include flash smelting and flash converting for copper and nickel, zinc direct leaching, electro-lytic refining of copper, nickel, and zinc, alumina calcination, and sulfuric acid production.
unrivalled prOcess expertiseOutotec’s heritage encompasses more than 100 years of experience in the processing of metals and minerals, as well as more recent developments in areas such as water, energy, and biomass. Our research facilities in Finland and Germany house samples from a huge range of sites. As each ore body and input material is unique, the range of processes and combinations that can be used to extract useful raw materials from these resources is simply enormous.
This broad base of knowledge is put to use in each Outotec project, allowing us to make guarantees in terms of efficiency, emissions, and energy and water usage, that contribute to a more desirable bottom line both for our customers and for society as a whole.
timely implementatiOn assuredOutotec’s process expertise is perfectly comple-mented by our engineering and implementation capabilities. To transform scientific knowledge and process insight into plants that function at maxi-mum efficiency in the field requires a tailored skill set bolstered by a great deal of environmental awareness.
Whether a project is located in a desert, at high alti-tude, or in the vicinity of a major population center, we can develop the necessary solutions and deliver them to the customer – frequently on a turnkey ba-sis. We guarantee delivery on time, and on budget, facts that we are more than ready to specify in our contracts.
enduring benefits via servicesThe same knowledge base also permeates Outotec’s service capabilities. We provide maintenance and operational excellence that covers the entire life cycle of a plant, whether greenfield or an existing installation.
Complementing our BATs with expert-driven ser-vices allows our customers to focus on their own core capabilities, secure in the knowledge that their facilities are running at maximum capacity.

At Outotec, we develop and deliver some of the world’s most energy-efficient metals, minerals, water and waste processing solutions, and care-fully monitor our actions as a company in accor-dance with initiatives such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). We are justifiably proud of our sus-tainability track record but there is much more yet to be done.
a fOrward-lOOKing missiOnAs we strive to make clear, Outotec’s commitment to sustainability extends far beyond our own oper-ations, which are relatively minor in terms of emis-sions. We see our impact in the industries we serve as of core importance to the effective use of the planet’s limited resources. The ultimate aim of our solutions is to decouple resource usage from na-ture by harnessing advanced metal recovery, water, and recycling technologies.
Our mission is the ‘sustainable use of Earth’s natural resources’. In order to achieve this, we incorporate sustainability into all aspects of our operations, from our own business processes to the solutions we develop for our customers.
sustainability is at the heart Of Our OperatiOns
Our mission statement, ‘sustainable use of Earth’s natural resources’, firmly attests to the fact that we not only provide the means to produce metals sus-tainably, but also enable production of the materi-als necessary for green energy technologies such as solar and wind power, as well as other energy-conserving solutions like mass transport concepts.
answering tOday’s cHallengesAll of the above are means of reducing our footprint as a global society, and all, for better or worse, re-quire metals from the outset. The key fact is that we want those metals to be produced in a sustain-able manner, and then returned to the value chain via recycling once they have achieved their purpose in the world.
In addition, 21st century consumers are increas-ingly keen to know the origin of the products they purchase, and to understand the value chains be-hind the brands they support.
Sustainability is a core element in our mission and principles, with 89% of our
order intake (2012) classified as Environmental Goods and Services (OECD definition). Outotec is a mem-ber of Cleantech Finland, and has been reporting according to GRI guidelines level B+ since 2010.
Outotec has signed the United Nations Global Compact initiative and is
committed to its principles of human rights, environment, labor and anti-corruption. We also participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP),and were included in the initiative’s Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index.
