Did you know that metallic objects, dating back more than 2,000 years, already contained nickel?

In the 19th century, nickel came to prominence in plating and alloys such as “nickel silver”.

Stainless steels were discovered early in the 20th century and nickel was found to have a very beneficial role in many of the standard grades, a situation which continues to this day.

Alloys based on nickel were found to have excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, which made them suitable for chemical plants and also allowed the practical realisation of the jet engine.

As a result of these developments, nickel enjoyed a vigorous growth of demand in the 20th Century and remains to do so.

Nickel is highly recyclable and is an essential material for current and future technologies – making it a crucial element for European growth.

Some 688,000 jobs across Europe are directly and indirectly dependent on the nickel value chain.
