General
FLSmidth, through its Vecor origins, has since the late 1950’s been closely linked to the growth of the copper and platinum mining industries in South and Southern Africa, and through this association has supplied the majority of converters, anode furnaces, transfer cars and ladles to smelter operators in sub-Saharan Africa.
Converter technology for the whole FLSmidth Group is now focused at FLSmidth as the centre of technology. A comprehensive reference list and access to the FLSmidth Pyro Technology Centre support FLSmidth's leading position in the field of smelter equipment supply.
