A3M, the Alliance for Minerals, Metal ores and Metals brings together companies involved in the extraction, production, processing and recycling of metals and industrial minerals to increase their representativeness, efficiency and synergy in order to achieve their sustainable development and competitiveness objectives. A3M brings together around 350 companies (38% of which are SMEs, 54% are ISEs and 8% are large groups). These industries, which create value for all, represent 62,500 direct jobs and 41 billion euros in turnover (37% of which is exported). With world leaders and companies of all sizes present throughout France, our industry masters internationally recognised know-how and skills, thanks in particular to the establishment of several research centres in our country. Thanks to a perfectly mastered sector, from extraction to recycling via production and transformation, our companies are integrated into the entire industrial value chain and contribute to a more sustainable society.
