Horsehead to Expand Zinc Oxide Capacity at Zochem Unit

Horsehead Corporation, a leading U.S. producer of zinc and zinc-based products, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horsehead Holding Corp. ZINC (“Horsehead”), today announced that it is in the process of adding additional zinc oxide production capacity at its Zochem, Inc. facility in Brampton, Ontario. Horsehead is undertaking this capacity expansion, expected to increase Zochem's capacity to 72,000 short tons per year, in anticipation of the eventual idling of the refining columns operated by its Horsehead Corporation subsidiary in Monaca, PA.
