Long before you put the pedal to the metal, Metaleurop puts metal in the pedal, the body, and other parts of cars. The French company is a top refiner of zinc and lead (about 75% of sales) for the auto and construction industries. It also recycles polypropylene from car battery cases. Other Metaleurop products include die-casts and lead and zinc oxides, as well as germanium, indium, and high-purity arsenic, which are used by a number of high-tech industries. Metaleurop operates about 30 subsidiaries, mainly in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Swiss trading group Glencore International owns 24% of the firm; Preussag AG (Germany) owns about 20%.
