In the 28 years since its stock market listing, investors have carried out over 220,000 transactions with more than 510 million ALRO shares, with a total value exceeding RON1.4 billion. Over the years, the Company distributed gross dividends totaling RON2.65 billion.
“For 60 years, we have been a constant presence in the aluminium industry, and for 28 years we have been listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, reinforcing our commitment to transparency, giving us access to capital, and supporting the implementation of our sustainable development strategy. We will continue to invest in sustainability, in innovative products, and in technologies that use resources smartly, remaining a trusted partner for clients, communities, and authorities,” said Marian Nastase, Chairman of the Board of Directors at ALRO.
ALRO’s history began 60 years ago, marking the production of the first batch of Romanian aluminium, on June 30, 1965, at the Aluminium Plant in Slatina. Since then, over 12 million tons of cast aluminium and 11 million tons of electrolytic aluminium have been produced in Romania.
ALRO’s strategy has been based on improving operational efficiency and integrating circular economy principles into its activity, significantly increasing the volume of aluminium scrap that is recycled and remelted. The Company operates an Eco-Recycling Facility with a capacity of 100,000 tons per year, which reintegrates aluminium into the production cycle using approximately 95% less energy compared to primary, electrolysis-based technology.
Investments in technology are complemented by investments in human capital through vocational training, upskilling, reskilling, specialization, and postgraduate programs designed to enhance employee performance.
