“The results achieved in the first nine months of the year demonstrate the strength of our business model and the effectiveness of our strategy in a challenging economic environment. These performances are the outcome of two major strategic directions that have guided ALRO’s development. The first focuses on continuous investments in technology, operational efficiency, and people development, factors that have enabled the Company to optimize its processes, diversify its product portfolio, and focus on high value-added sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and defense, where demand continues to grow. The second strategic direction is represented by our commercial policy, built on a deep understanding of international market dynamics and on long-term partnerships with our clients, which have allowed us to capitalize on this increasing demand in a sustainable and profitable way”, said Marian NĂSTASE, Chairman of the Board of Directors, ALRO.
However, the impact of higher raw material and utility prices, coupled with high interest rates, led to lower net results, namely a net profit of RON 1.8 million, in the first nine months of 2025, compared to the adjusted comparative profit of RON 4.5 million in Q1–Q3 2024, after deducting the amount of RON 122 million from the sale of CO2 certificates (funds used to support the production process for the previous year).
ALRO continued its strategic investment program focused on energy efficiency, process modernization, and the transition to low-carbon aluminum production.
The Group continued implementing strategic investment projects aimed at further diversifying its product portfolio, improving quality and overall efficiency, while further lowering its ecological footprint. These include the commissioning of a new electric furnace for ageing aluminum alloy plates, following a RON 11.6 million investment.
ALRO advanced projects aimed at increasing the share of high and very high value-added products through investments in precision plate processing, advanced quality control systems, and new billet and slab casting capacities.
The company’s main export markets are in the EU, but it also sells its products in the US and Asia.
