  • DIRECTORY OF COPPER AND COPPER ALLOY FABRICATORS (FIRST USE) 2009 Edition (annual)

This directory provides a systematic global overview of companies and plants involved in the first use of copper. Hereby, “first use” refers to the production of semi-fabricated copper products using unwrought copper materials such as refined copper or direct melt scrap as raw material feed. First users are mainly semis fabricators that process refinery shapes into semi-finished copper and copper alloy products. The Directory covers wire rod plants, ingot makers (for castings), master alloy plants, brass mills, and electrodeposited copper foil mills. The 2009 Edition of the ICSG Directory includes data through the end of 2008 for most of the existing, developing and planned first use plants. Published March 2009. Order Form
