- Eramet S.A. is a global mining and metallurgy company headquartered in Paris, France, specializing in the extraction, processing, and transformation of metals including manganese, nickel, lithium, and mineral sands. The company offers a diversified portfolio of products and services such as manganese ore and alloys used in steel production and agriculture; nickel ore and refined nickel products for industries including aerospace, electronics, and batteries; lithium carbonate production catering primarily to the energy storage and electric vehicle sectors; and mineral sands utilized in various industrial applications. Eramet operates a network of mines, processing plants, and refineries spanning regions such as Europe, Australia, Indonesia, Gabon, Senegal, Argentina, and New Caledonia. Founded in 1880, the company serves a wide array of customers across the automotive, aerospace, steelmaking, chemical, and renewable energy industries.
In its latest strategic developments, Eramet completed the acquisition of the remaining 49.9% interest in a key strategic joint venture in 2024, gaining full ownership of significant assets in nickel production and refining. The company also divested its High-Performance Alloys division, including the sale of Aubert & Duval and Erasteel, and separately sold its Titanium & Iron plant to INEOS, reflecting a focused portfolio refocus towards core activities. Additionally, Eramet achieved a major milestone by commencing lithium carbonate production at the Centenario plant in Argentina, positioning itself strongly in the growing lithium market integral to the energy transition. The company maintains a disciplined capital allocation strategy with controlled investments planned between €400 million and €450 million for 2025, aimed at sustaining production growth and improving operational productivity under its "Act for Positive Mining" roadmap focused on responsible and sustainable mining practices.
Eramet leverages integrated mining, metallurgy, and refining capabilities to deliver value-added metals that support critical industrial sectors, balancing global operations with a commitment to sustainability and cost control. The company’s geographic reach and diversified product base underpin its resilience amid market volatility and position it well to capitalize on rising demand for metals linked to energy transition and technological advancements.
