Installation company Instalco's subsidiary, Nordpipe Composite Engineering (NCE), has signed an agreement with Boliden Rönnskär regarding industrial deliveries for the reconstruction of the electrolytic plant in Skellefteå. This was announced in a press release.

The background is that Boliden Rönnskär's electrolytic plant in Skelleftehamn was completely destroyed in a fire in June 2023. Reconstruction has been underway since 2024. The assignment for NCE includes the delivery and installation of, among other things, tanks, reactors, piping systems, chimneys, and ducts made of composite materials.

The electrolytic plant in Rönnskär is a facility that, using electrolysis, refines copper to produce copper cathodes and extract precious metals such as gold and silver. The new electrolytic plant is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.

During the construction of the electrolytic plant, Instalco's subsidiary Highcon also has separate assignments for Boliden.
