Resalox Project

Grupo Otua initiates the Resalox project, a new technological research and development project which is encompassed within its strategic line of Innovation to serve the environment.

This project is the result of a joint cooperation between Grupo Otua and Gerdau, two innovative companies from two related sectors (metallic recycling and metallurgy) with the aim of providing value to a secondary raw material.

Participant companies and Research Centres

Resal, a company of the Otua Group dedicated to the treatment of salt slag from the second fusion aluminium refining process, is working together with Gerdau Aceros Especiales Europa, a company dedicated to producing special steels.

The development of this project involves the R&D departments from each of the participating Groups, Fundación Inatec and Gerdau R&D.
