Doe Run remains a world leader in metal production and lead recycling thanks to employees, business partners and community members such as you. As we face the challenges of doing business in an uncertain economy, we take pride in our collective accomplishments and the important relationships we’ve built in the process. The global economy is running into rough waters but this certainly isn’t the first storm Doe Run has encountered.
Following a string of banner years, we spent much of 2008 positioning Doe Run for the cyclical nature of the metals market. We invested heavily in our facilities, grew leaner and more efficient, and implemented sustainable processes wherever possible. We also championed the role lead will play in the hybrid and electric vehicles of the future and provided valuable recycling services.
Doe Run managers recognize the need to play a leadership role in supplying stored power for alternative energy sources of the future and replacing those that have exhausted their useful life. After all, automotive batteries don’t read the news about Wall Street; they demand replacement on their own schedules, regardless of economic conditions.
Certainly, we’ll encounter many challenges as the future unfolds. Doe Run employees are up for the task, and we are committed to keeping our business sustainable. Thank you for your continued support on our journey.
Sincerely,

Bruce Neil
President and Chief Executive Officer, The Doe Run Company
