PROFILE |
 |
Heraeus Holding likes to trade. The company's major focus is precious metals trading and processing (about 85% of sales); however, Heraeus also provides materials and instruments used to create dental restorations, sensors used in catalytic converters and industrial temperature controls, and high-purity glass for making semiconductors and optical fiber. The company also makes room lighting, suction, and other systems for medical use. Heraeus sells its products worldwide, but has major operations in Germany and Belgium. The Heraeus family owns the 150-year-old holding company, which has spun off its fiber-optic operations as Heraeus Tenevo.
