25 Deutsche Mark. That's what one Norddeutsche Affinerie share cost the day it started trading in Frankfurt in July 1998. 🧳 Getting there took nerve. Months of due diligence. A prospectus finished deep into the night. A roadshow that carried our employees from Hamburg to Paris, New York, Boston and London, pitching a copper producer to investors. 📈 Behind the scenes: a hotline fielding over 1,500 investor calls, and 1,476 of our own employees who bought shares. The campaign that sold it to the public? "Ohne Kupfer keine Börse" — no copper, no stock exchange. 🚀 28 years later, that first trading day still echoes. We've grown from a Hamburg copper producer into Aurubis: an international multimetal company and one of the world's largest copper recyclers — still listed, still moving forward. This post is part of our 160th anniversary series, marking the moments that shaped who we are today. #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #160YearsMultimetal
