Advanced Materials

For More Than 50 Years the Global Cobalt Leader
We’re Moving Up The Value Chain

OMG has long supplied the cobalt-based raw materials that our customers use to make battery precursors.

Now, however, we are moving up the value chain as our Inorganics business makes advanced precursors for next-generation rechargeable batteries. Meanwhile, our advanced catalyst precursors are helping customers capture previously wasted energy in an environmentally friendly manner.

We procure feedstocks on long-term contracts to assure product availability. Advanced production processes allow us to use raw materials in a variety of forms, eliminating the high costs of reprocessing. Our cobalt smelting facility in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo, home of "the big hill," enables OMG to annually produce thousands of metric tons of cobalt and copper from lower-grade feedstocks.

Due to unique innovations in technology, our products lead the world in quality, while our production costs remain among the most competitive in the industry.

All OMG facilities are ISO-certified and stringently follow our Responsible Care® policy.
For more than 50 years, OMG has led the world in innovative cobalt technology.

OMG has been on the ground floor in developing applications for a variety of industries and processes.

OMG's customer-driven philosophy guides us in working partnerships with manufacturers. Drawing on more than 50 years of innovation, research and the development of proprietary technology, we can help customers design better, more efficient production processes and solve problems long before the first product comes through the factory.
