The world's first high-quality solar production centre for 100% recycled alloys

Thanks to an ultra-powerful solar furnace developed in conjunction with EPFL and CNRS, among others, PANATERE transforms metal waste into very high-quality alloys. The sun’s energy replaces fossil fuels.

PANATERE SA is developing Europe's first solar metal melting centre.

A breakthrough industrial model made in Switzerland

Powered exclusively by solar energy, the centre transforms scrap metal into high-value alloys for the watchmaking, medical and aerospace industries.

A 165-fold reduction in carbon footprint compared with traditional foundries.

This pioneering project, called Circular Swiss Met, anchors the industrial transition in concrete terms: fossil fuel-free production, strategic relocation and control of the value chain.
