About VPMS
VPMS is located in Langelsheim, a town in the district of Goslar, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It was established in Dec 2020, on the site formerly owned by Recylex / PPM Pure Metals.
This area of Germany has a long history in metals production. Herzog Juliushütte, a 'Bleihütte' founded in 1575 and the name of the settlement that came into being, is now part of Langelsheim.
With over 65 years of Minor Metal production on this site, our dedicated specialists develop, produce and recycle minor metals and their compounds, working closely with innovators worldwide.
The site covers over 170,000m² of land and has >20,000m² of covered building space. A railway runs through the site and divides it into a north and south area.
