Ultromex provides innovative solutions to the industry, to recover value from aluminium dross and other industrial by-products for primary and secondary smelters.
It announced on Friday it has secured the massive contract to supply its technology to Saudi oil firm Radian, who recently secured an agreement with the national producer to process aluminium smelting by-products.
