  • Hydro acquired the Polish aluminium recycling company Alumetal S.A in 2023 to strengthen its position in aluminium recycling across Europe and to expand its product offering in the low-carbon and scrap-based foundry alloy market. Together, Hydro and Alumetal became the leading integrated aluminium recycler in Europe.
  • Alumetal’s four recycling plants, three in Poland and one in Hungary, have a total annual capacity of 280,000 tonnes and primarily serve the automotive sector.
  • Since the acquisition, Hydro has invested in modernization and expansion of the Kęty plant in Poland, including an upgraded casting line and a photovoltaic farm that became operational in June 2025.
