ALRO invested more than USD 700 million in the nearly 20 years since its privatization: implementing state-of-the-art technology in multiple energy-intensive processes, significantly reducing electricity consumption, production of recycled aluminium, and reducing the Company's environmental footprint. At the same time, these investments have allowed the manufacturing of high and very high value-added aluminum products, which made ALRO one of the exclusive club members of the global manufacturers for the aeronautical industry.

His Excellency, Mr. David SARANGA, Ambassador of the State of Israel to Romania, appreciated the extremely high potential for cooperation between ALRO and the companies from his country in using aluminum and processed aluminum products manufactured in Slatina within Israel’s industry.
