Description: | Records include video, brochure, press release and photographs. ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY IMI Refiners Ltd was the name given to the IMI Ltd subsidiary, 'James Bridge Copper Works Ltd', Walsall, in October 1971. Having been initially bought by The Wolverhampton Metal Company, which in turn was bought by IMI Ltd, investment was made by both companies into the refinery, which led to it becoming a leader in copper refining techniques and production. However, by 1999 IMI Refiners Ltd was making a loss and the parent company IMI Refiners decided to close it down. The closure progressed according to plan and all smelting operations ceased in December of the same year. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Rights holder: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Temporal: | 20th cent | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
