COMPANY PROFILE

Established in 1933, Zochem is Canada’s largest zinc oxide manufacturer and the second largest single site producer in North America. Subsequent to relocating in 1974 to our Brampton, Ontario facility, Zochem has generated a steady rate of growth. Our reputation as a supplier of consistent, high quality zinc oxide is backed by our superior level of prompt, responsive service.

HBMS began mining and smelting operations at Flin Flon, Manitoba in 1927 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of HudBay Minerals Inc.
