Bleihütte Binsfeldhammer, Lead smelting facility in Stolberg, Germany.

The Bleihütte Binsfeldhammer facility operates with a 100-meter chimney and processes lead through advanced extraction methods in the Vicht valley industrial area.

Founded in 1846 by French investors, the facility was established on the former copper mill site and underwent multiple ownership changes throughout its industrial development.

The facility's trade name evolved from Eschweiler Raffiné to Stolberg in 1960, reflecting the regional manufacturing identity and industrial heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The facility employs 280 workers and maintains an annual production capacity of 155,000 tons of lead and lead alloys, plus 130,000 tons of sulfuric acid.

The facility utilizes the QSL process, extracting lead from raw materials in a single closed reactor system while recovering precious metals like silver and gold.
