About Alro > Strategy: Focus on value-added aluminium products

Our strategy

Over the past five years Alro has invested approximately USD 245 million in production modernization and development, including about USD 70 million in environmental and work safety improvements. As a result of these investments, Alro has increased its production of cast aluminium from 187,052 tonnes in 2002 to 288,000 tonnes in 2008.



During that time, Alro has increased its focus on value-added products, of which there are two types:

1. Primary value-added products include billets, slabs and wire rod.

2. Processed value-added products, such as plates, sheets, coils and extrusions. This is an area in which we shall concentrate in the future.

Alro intends to boost its flat rolled product sales from the current 35,000 tonnes to 65,000 tonnes by 2011.
