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.

We also championed the role lead will play in the hybrid and electric vehicles of the future and provided valuable recycling services.
