Two years after acquiring the Polish aluminium recycling company, Alumetal S.A., Hydro has finalised the integration process and rebranded Alumetal’s plants in Poland and Hungary.
Through this integration, Hydro aims to take a leading role in the European foundry alloy segment.
The rebranding of Alumetal is a strategic move that will enable Hydro to capitalise on new commercial opportunities with a unified presence in the market. This will not affect existing operations.
Hanne Simensen, Executive Vice President of Hydro Aluminium Metal, stated: “We are setting up a true one-stop-shop for recycled and low-carbon foundry alloys that includes the full strength of Hydro’s R&D capabilities and technical support teams.
“Our customers can continue to expect the same high-quality service and products they have come to associate with both Hydro and Alumetal, while we keep aluminium scrap in the loop to strengthen both circularity and resilience in the European aluminium value chain.”
Currently operated as a standalone company under Hydro’s ownership, Alumetal will align with Hydro’s operating model in the final stage of the integration process.
Its operations in Poland and Hungary will be rebranded as Hydro Kęty, Hydro Gorzyce, Hydro Nowa Sól, and Hydro Komárom respectively in early 2026.
