The world’s leading manufacturer in flat-rolled aluminium (FRP), Assan Aluminyum, a subsidiary of Kibar Holding, has settled plans to invest further in sustainable expansions through a sequence of investments worth over $95 million from 2021 through 2024. However, with the accomplishment of the expansion of the project, Assan Alüminyum is expected to have the largest continuous casting capacity in Europe and America.
