About company

The use of zinc in ancient times has been proven with the discovery of jewellery and funeral urns in Greece and Egypt. Ever since the 18th century, after developing an original production process, an imperial decree was granted to Jean-Jacques Dony to mine the zinc ore deposit at La Vieille Montagne, near Liège, in Belgium. The Société des Mines et Fonderies de Zinc de la Vieille Montagne was created in 1837.
