Aurubis (ISIN DE0006766504) is building an automated Hamburg facility for metal-bearing intermediates, with commissioning scheduled for late 2028. The company announced the project on October 7, 2026, in an Aurubis press release. At 9:37 a.m. CET, Aurubis stock was trading at EUR 134.50 at Lang & Schwarz, 0.37 percent below the Xetra close of October 26, 2026.

What changes at Hamburg in 2028?

The new installation will pre-process and sort copper- and precious-metal-bearing materials into defined grain sizes. Aurubis said sensor and X-ray technology will separate material components more precisely, creating a basis for representative sampling and more reliable valuation of metal contents.

The project adds another processing stage to the companys Hamburg multimetal hub. Aurubis said the facility will direct intermediates more strategically into downstream processes and replace physically strenuous manual work. The closed building will include filtration, extraction and sorting technology, which the company said should improve working conditions and reduce dust-intensive work stages.

Why does the stock remain below its high?

The market value places the operational announcement beside a wide valuation gap. The EUR 134.50 Lang & Schwarz price is 40.28 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 225.20, while the 52-week low is EUR 104.80, based on the October 27, 2026 market snapshot. The stock also stands EUR 0.50 below the EUR 135.00 Xetra close used for the daily comparison.

For investors, the facility is a long-dated capacity and efficiency project rather than an immediate earnings change. Its planned late-2028 commissioning gives Aurubis time to integrate the equipment into the wider Hamburg site, while the current valuation reflects a stock trading materially below its yearly high.

Aurubis has a market capitalization of EUR 5.9 billion as of October 27, 2026. The company is listed in the MDAX and describes Hamburg as its largest production site, linking the new project to its broader multimetal and recycling strategy.
