Independent, innovative and successful
At Feinhütte, we produce tin and lead as fine metals, as well as a wide range of alloys containing antimony, bismuth, copper, germanium, indium, and precious metals. This establishes us as one of Europe's leading secondary smelters of non-ferrous metals. Thanks to our state-of-the-art technologies and extensive metallurgical expertise, we can process almost all types of tin and lead residues in an environmentally friendly and economical way. The metals and alloys obtained are partly processed into semi-finished products.
Our customers come from a wide variety of industries - ranging from the automotive sector to electronics (EMS) and electrical engineering, the plain bearing industry, medical technology, aerospace, the construction industry, mechanical and plant engineering, renewable energy, and electroplating, all the way to highly specialized customers in the arts and crafts sector.
We are Feinhütte
Responsibility for metal.When the first non-ferrous and precious metals were extracted from local ores in Halsbrücke in 1612, no one could have foreseen that this would give rise to one of the most renowned specialists in tin and lead alloys. Today, at our Halsbrücke facility, we produce high-quality metals and metal alloys in a wide variety of compositions, variants, formats, and purities. Some of the metals and alloys we produce are further processed into semi-finished products.
We keep metals in progress.
Expertise and quality from a single source
GreenTin+
Pure tin made from 100% recycled material
GreenTin+ is an ecologically sourced material of the highest quality that can be purchased as pure tin in the form of bars, rods, wires and anodes.
Alternatively, it is also available as the main alloy component in all relevant lead-free electronic solders.
Our Memberships
Setting Standards Together and Shaping the FutureAs a reliable partner to industry, we are actively involved in associations, networks, and initiatives that promote responsibility, innovation, and cross-industry exchange. Our memberships reflect our mission: we don’t just want to supply products; we also want to help shape the conditions that promote quality, competitiveness, and sustainable business practices.
The WirtschaftsVereinigung Metalle e.V. (WV Metalle) represents the interests of approximately 650 companies in the non-ferrous metals industry, which employ about 108,000 people, making it the central advocate for the economic interests of the German non-ferrous metals industry (non-ferrous metals). As a member of the Federation of German Industries (BDI), it coordinates the political interests of its sector at the national and European levels.
Since 1908, the VDM has represented the interests of the non-ferrous metal wholesale trade and the non-ferrous metal recycling industry. This includes new metals, scrap metals, and strategic special metals. Its more than 230 members represent approximately 700 companies or branches and cover about 90 percent of the metal market in Germany and Austria. In addition, there are numerous companies from other European countries. Smelters and refineries are among the members, as are traders, recyclers, brokers active on the London Metal Exchange (LME), and other specialists in the metals industry.
The GDMB is a leading professional association for metallurgy and mining. It promotes exchange between academia, research, and industry and strengthens the transfer of knowledge across metallurgical processes. Our membership gives us access to up-to-date expertise, networks of experts, and practical insights for quality, materials development, and process optimization.
The Geokompetenzzentrum Freiberg e.V. connects companies, research organizations, and institutions in the fields of raw materials, geosciences, and materials engineering.
Through our membership, we support the regional exchange of knowledge, collaboration with research institutions, and the strengthening of Freiberg’s position along the metal value chain.
Symtronics is the world’s first ecosystem for sustainable electronics and a specialized cluster within the Sym Group. Symtronics is committed to transforming the electronics industry through the circular economy and collaborative models. Instead of relying solely on competition, the network promotes collaboration among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to reduce global dependencies and lower costs.
Giving old metals a new use
For real sustainabilityWe convert metal waste into customer-specific alloys and thus close the loop. In this way, we not only relieve our customers of the burden of disposing of old materials in a proper and environmentally friendly manner, but also make an important contribution to conserving limited resources through recycling.
Metal brings us together.
Those who work with Feinhütte can count on both the highest product quality and excellent service. Diligence, experience, and innovative thinking define the character of our company. It’s no wonder, then, that our customer relationships often last for years or even decades. And we also place great value on good relationships within our company: we always treat one another with respect.
