How it started
History
Nyrstar was created in 2007 by combining the zinc smelting and alloying operations of Zinifex (an Australian mining company, now merged with Oxiana to form Oz Minerals) and Umicore (a Belgian materials technology company).
Nyrstar was acquired by Trafigura in 2019.
In April 2026, Nyrstar sold its mines and smelter in Tennessee to Korea Zinc.
