Sibanye-Stillwater has unified its recently acquired businesses, Reldan, Reldan Mexico, and Metallix, with its Columbus autocatalyst recycling operations to form a single, integrated global recycling platform. This strategic alignment, announced on June 9, 2026, positions the company as a major force in precious metal recycling and refining by combining deep technical expertise, expanded global reach, and a shared commitment to safety and sustainability.

The integration follows the successful acquisitions of Reldan and Reldan Mexico in March 2024 and Metallix in September 2025. By bringing these entities together, Sibanye-Stillwater aims to deliver high-performance, end-to-end recycling solutions at scale while safely processing increasingly complex materials with high recovery efficiencies.

Scale, Capability, and Expertise

The unified recycling business leverages several key strengths to drive its operations:

• Advanced Recovery Capabilities: Utilizing leading technologies and deep technical know-how across complex materials and processing streams.
• Analytical Laboratories: World-class facilities delivering assay accuracy, precision, and transparency to ensure customer confidence.
• Global Footprint: Refining operations in the United States and India, processing capabilities in Asia, and a commercial presence across key global markets.
• Industry Experience: Decades of combined experience across industrial, electronic, jewellery, and autocatalyst recycling streams.
• Strategic Partnerships: Strong downstream relationships and long-standing customer connections that serve as assets across the value chain.

Driving the Circular Economy

As demand for critical and precious metals accelerates, Sibanye-Stillwater's integrated platform plays a vital role in the circular economy. The operations focus on recovering and reintroducing valuable metals back into global use in key markets with efficiency and responsibility. The business processes materials containing gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, and iridium.

Backed by the broader Sibanye-Stillwater Group, the recycling business connects mining, processing, and recycling into a single value chain. This structure creates opportunities for innovation, improved recovery rates, and enhanced customer solutions. The company stated that it is accelerating its ambition to become a global leader in sustainable precious metals recovery by expanding capabilities and investing in technology.
