The Belgian branch of the Spanish group Leaf Business Holdings, LBHB (formerly Boliden), has announced during an extraordinary works council, the closure of the Grivegnée site and the loss of 140 jobs. The company is facing a major increase of copper prices on the international market. For the Spanish investor, the Belgian site has no future.
