Our Perspective on Copper’s Strategic Importance
Copper plays a crucial role in today’s technology-driven world thanks to its exceptional electrical conductivity. This makes it indispensable in a wide range of electronic components, from wiring and connectors to key elements in renewable energy systems and electric mobility solutions.
When used as an alloy, copper becomes both durable and resistant to heat and corrosion. These properties make it an ideal choice for plumbing systems, freshwater distribution, and even high-quality cookware.
In addition, copper's natural antimicrobial characteristics offer valuable support for infection prevention in healthcare settings and care facilities.
As a highly versatile and fully recyclable material, copper stands out as a key contributor to a sustainable, low-carbon future—both in terms of performance and environmental responsibility.
At GCR Group, we’re helping power the transition to a cleaner world with one of the most strategic minerals of our time: cobalt.
As a leading producer and marketer of cobalt, we supply a metal that’s essential to the technologies shaping tomorrow—from lithium-ion batteries to renewable energy systems and high-performance alloys. Cobalt’s role in electrification and energy storage makes it a critical resource in the global push toward decarbonization.
Cobalt – Driving Innovation Across Industries
Cobalt is a critical raw material in the energy transition. It is a key component in rechargeable batteries, helping to regulate temperature for greater safety, longer life, and higher energy storage capacity. This makes cobalt indispensable in consumer electronics as well as in the large battery systems that power renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicles.
Cobalt’s value extends beyond energy storage. It is vital in medical imaging technologies, and as a superalloy, it enhances performance in aircraft engines and industrial tools such as cutting and drilling equipment.
With its exceptional stability, strength, and functional versatility, cobalt is shaping the technological backbone of tomorrow’s industries.
At GCR Group, we are proud to be one of the leading producers of high-purity nickel—a metal that’s essential to everyday life and the technologies of tomorrow.
From rechargeable batteries and stainless steel to electric vehicles, green energy, and industrial infrastructure, nickel plays a vital role in modern society. Approximately 65% of global nickel goes into making corrosion- and heat-resistant stainless steel—powering everything from skyscrapers and bridges to kitchen appliances and medical tools.
Nickel – Strength, Performance, and Sustainability
Nickel is best known for its role in producing stainless steel, enhancing its strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. It is also used in non-magnetic steels, expanding its relevance across various engineering applications.
From buildings and bridges to kitchen appliances, nickel-containing stainless steel is a part of daily life. As the world shifts toward e-mobility, nickel’s role is expanding: it is a core component in high-performance electric vehicle batteries, delivering greater energy density and enabling longer driving ranges.
Nickel also excels in high-temperature environments, making it indispensable in specialty steels and superalloys used in aerospace engineering, particularly in aircraft engines.
