The supervisory board of Hamburg, Germany-based copper producer Aurubis AG has appointed 55-year-old Roland Harings as the next CEO of the Aurubis Group. Harings will directly succeed current CEO Jürgen Schachler, 64, to assume his new position on July 1, 2019.

Harings has been the CEO of MKM Mansfelder Kupfer und Messing GmbH since 2014. MKM makes semi-finished products made from copper and copper alloys and employs about 1,200 people. Prior to that, Harings headed the European automotive supply business of Novelis Inc. while also serving as a vice president of the Atlanta-based aluminum firm, where he oversaw the expansion of the automotive division in China and the USA.

“With Harings, Aurubis has gained an exceptionally successful manager with over 25 years of international experience in the raw materials industry – aluminum, copper, and brass,” states Aurubis Supervisory Board Chairman Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt. “Because of his knowledge of the metals industry, with its challenges and opportunities for the future, and his compelling personality, Harings has the right profile to purposefully continue Aurubis’ strategic development into a multi-metal company and to successfully implement it on an operational level.”

Says Roland, “I look forward to this new, high-responsibility position at this exciting time of realignment for Aurubis, which holds a great deal of potential. I’m very familiar with the company, not only from a customer perspective, and I hope to make a committed contribution – together with my future Executive Board colleagues – to successfully positioning Aurubis for the demands of the years to come.”

Aurubis AG produces nonferrous metals and bills itself as the world’s largest copper recycler. The company consumes scrap metals and metal concentrates in the production of more than 1 million metric tons annually of copper cathodes, wire rod, rolled products, strips and profiles made of copper and copper alloys. The company also refines or produces precious metals, selenium, lead, nickel and other products at production sites in Europe and the United States.
