Red emergency vehicle with a distinctive yellow stripe from the Aurubis AG works fire brigade in Hamburg. In addition to copper and copper products, the company also produces precious metals, such as silver as granules (lat:grenum / grain, i.e. small balls/droplets) and bars. The company, which was founded after the economic upswing in 1856 from the Elbhutten-Affinier- und Handelsgesellschaft, now produces over a million tons of copper cathodes annually, the basis for many different copper products. The company currently employs more than 7,000 people. Of course, given the size of the company, you have to have your own fire brigade.
