Headquartered in Oakwood, Ohio, Agmet is a processor of industrial by-product, concentrating valuable metal units — including nickel, cobalt, and copper — to produce a low-cost, custom-formulated nickel raw material for nickel smelters. With its proprietary pyro-metallurgical process, the company can process hazardous and non-hazardous by-products such as nickel filtercakes, catalysts, liquid solutions, and electric vehicle (EV) battery scrap into valuable metal units without generating additional waste. Generators of industrial by-products rely on Agmet to divert by-product streams from landfills, thereby reducing material costs and environmental liability, and improving public perception.
