IME Process Metallurgy and Metal Recycling


Double anniversaries – 125a IME and 25th years of directorship


Our institute is celebrating its 125th anniversary as well as the 25th service anniversary of our institute’s director, Prof. Dr. Ing. Friedrich. Founded by Wilhelm Borchers, we have developed under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Ing. Friedrich into a leading research center for sustainable metal recycling. In this context, we would like to thank all employees, students, and partners for their support and cooperation. With numerous international collaborations and successful spin-offs, we play a central role in raw material supply and sustainable economy. Together, we look back on 125 years of research and innovation and look forward to a continued successful future.


The book on the last 25 years is available here.
