Hammerer Aluminium investing in a new recycling furnace; project expected to commence in early 2022

Austria-based high-quality aluminium products supplier Hammerer Aluminium Industries (HAI) is reportedly investing in a third recycling furnace at its Santana site in Romania, in response to the increasing demand for lightweight aluminium products. The new furnace is expected to produce high-quality aluminium recycling material at a full capacity from early 2022.

Hammerer Aluminium CEO, Rob van Gils, said: "We are implementing the project quickly and will be able to supply the market with high-quality recycling material at full capacity from the beginning of 2022, as planned, and thus meet the increasing demand of our customers."

For the planning and implementation of the furnace, the HAI Group is relying on Hertwich Engineering GmbH from Braunau in Upper Austria. The new plant will create an essential combination of low energy consumption and maximum metal output.

Sustainability being the key focus of Hammerer Aluminium, the company is striving to achieve sustainable circular economy in the aluminium sector with a lot of commitment, innovative strength and high investments.

Explaining the importance of the investment in another recycling furnace, CEO Rob van Gils said, "Customers and investors are demanding a real transformation to sustainable business, in ecological and social terms. The issues of CO2 emissions and circular economy will continue to gain importance. With a recycling rate of up to 80%, our company is a pioneer in the aluminum sector. We are highly motivated to drive these processes forward."
