The Nickel Institute is a nonprofit organization that represents the interests of 25 companies which together produce more than 75% of the world’s annual nickel output. We promote on behalf of our members the production, use and re-use (through recycling) of nickel in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
The Institute was established on January 1, 2004, through the merger of the Nickel Development Institute (NiDI), established 1984, and the Nickel Producers Environmental Research Association (NiPERA), originally formed in 1980.
