For decades, the Horn & Co. Group has been developing solutions that combine industrial processes with the sustainable use of raw materials. The goal is to keep recyclable materials in circulation for as long as possible, thereby conserving resources, reducing emissions, and combining economic efficiency with environmental responsibility.

Horn & Co. Industrial Services is active in areas such as slag management, scrap management (DHI Rohstoffe), and waste management (KGU), offering customers reliable services with a focus on process safety, digitalization (dpoc-it), and resource conservation.
The Horn & Co. Minerals Recovery business unit, with the brand MIRECO, is among the most sustainable refractory producers in Europe and focuses on innovative recycling processes, CO₂ reduction, as well as expert and compliant disposal. With more than 250,000 tons of recycled and secondary raw materials per year, customers benefit from high-quality and sustainable materials.

Horn & Co. Analytics, known under the brand INDUSTRIAL LAB, complements the portfolio with a broad range of analytical services, rapid results, and expert consulting in analytical matters.
Since 1922, the Horn & Co. Group has brought together comprehensive expertise in the fields of recycling and raw material recovery.
