The Australian Ausmelt Limited won the second prize in the Metal Production category in the course of the annual PACE Zenith contest for its Zvezda project implemented by Russian Copper Company in the town of Karabash.

The awarding ceremony took place in Darling Harbour, Sydney, Australia, on June 18, 2008. The contest was coordinated by Process and Control Engineering, the Australian magazine, in order to motivate the world’s leading engineering enterprises and technological innovators as well as to help them become known to the public.

‘This is a significant achievement and a sign of great recognition for Austmelt and our technological team. This achievement was made possible due to Karabashmed and their experts. We keep working on everything related to development, application, and perfection of process control systems for our current and prospective customers, and we are looking forward to working with this leader of the Russian non-ferrous metal market,’ says Ausmelt Limited’s Non-Ferrous Metals Director Jim Fogarty.
