About us

Bathco is a global leader in providing solutions for energy transition metals and minerals, with a distinct focus on Aluminium and its raw materials. We engage in trading and upcycling these essential resources, supporting a circular economy, and supplying the necessary raw materials to key industries. We trade sustainably produced Aluminium and support the industry with our cutting-edge smelter technology solutions that actively reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. We make strategic investments in sustainable projects that help us to fulfill our mission.

About us

From Switzerland to the world; based in Zurich, Bathco has solidified its roots in the Aluminium industry. Initially founded to manage excess Bath Material, a byproduct of Aluminium smelting, we have undergone a significant evolution since our inception.

 

Today, Bathco stands as a multifaceted leader in the primary Aluminium industry, specializing in sustainable solutions and what we term ‘Green Aluminium’—Aluminium produced using renewable electricity or from recycled materials, emphasizing our commitment to environmental stewardship.

 

Our mission is to revolutionize the metals trade by championing upcycling, transparency, and environmental stewardship. Beginning as a specialized service provider for a niche market, Bathco has expanded into a global entity. We now serve as a service provider, trader, upcycler, investor, and advisor, demonstrating our adaptability and growth within the sector. This growth includes the establishment of several own upcycling facilities and commercial offices located across the globe, further extending our reach and influence.

A key aspect of our journey is our association with Metsol, a part of the Bathco group, known for its innovative contributions in technology. Metsol has developed cutting-edge smelter technology that significantly reduces electricity consumption and direct emissions of the Aluminium production. With this technology, our collective goal within the Bathco group is to save 500,000 tons of CO₂ per year by 2025 and 1,000,000 tons by 2026, underscoring our dedication to a sustainable and responsible future in metal production.

 

Our evolution and the initiatives we undertake reflect a deep commitment to not only meet the industry’s demands but also to drive forward a future where metal production is sustainable, responsible, and aligned with global environmental goals.
