Howard Holding plc

**Creation Date:**

**Howard Holding plc** is a British registered company, and the world's largest metals and mining corporation. The company was founded in July 1970 as an Ltd. by James Howard-Burton.

## History

Founded on July 9th, 1970 by James Howard-Burton as Howard Holding Ltd., the company started as a holding company for James' various businesses. In 1973, James privatised two Chilean copper mines in a controversial deal from the government of Augusto Pinochet. He acquired them under Howard Holding. In 1976, he bought Brazilian state-owned mining company CAM Minas Gerais in another controversial deal. These two companies formed the now famous CAM International.

Over the course of the 1970's and 80's, CAM International expanded into an international mining company on three continents, as it opened and bought mines in Australia and Africa.

In 1990, after the collapse of the communist regime in Bulgaria, Howard Holding acquired state-owned lead/zinc mining company ГеоТехСтрой (GeoTechStroy). In 1993, he bought state-owned Russian company РМК (RMK).

In 1994, Howard Holding expanded yet again, but this time into a new sector. Howard Holding took over a relatively small biotechnology merger, SynTech, after it filed for Chapter 11 protection.

Over the years, Howard Holding established itself as the world's largest metals and mining conglomerate, and one of the largest companies in the world.
