AMAG Ranshofen facilities achieve ASI Custody Standard Certification for producing high-quality cast alloys

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative has certified AMAG Austria Metall AG against Custody Standard Certification for aluminium remelting/recycling, casting, and rolling activities at production facilities in Ranshofen, Austria.

High-quality cast alloys are manufactured in Ranshofen from recycled aluminium, destined for use in a wide range of end-use sectors such as aircraft, architecture, automotive and transportation, packaging, and sporting goods. AMAG has a strong focus on recycled materials and the realisation of closed loop concepts.

In September 2018, AMAG’s Ranshofen plant was certified against the ASI Performance Standard.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We warmly congratulate AMAG on their ASI Chain of Custody Certification. Having a scrap utilisation rate of 75-80 % already gives the plant a good foundation for offering a relatively low-carbon product to their downstream customers and supports the circular economy. With their dual certification now in place, this gives their aluminium outputs additional sustainability credentials that will add important value to the key downstream sectors that they supply.”

AMAG CEO Gerald Mayer said, “Sustainability is of essential importance for the company’s long-term success. AMAG has already been focusing on responsible and resource-conserving production for decades. The ASI Chain of Custody Certification is the next logical step along this path.”

The independent, third-party audits of the AMAG plant were carried out by Bureau Veritas Certification.
