Aluminium Deutschland: Aluminium Recycling Association appoints Helmut Greiner as new Chairman

Helmut Greiner, the Managing Director of Amag Casting GmbH, has taken over the role of Chairman of the Aluminium Recycling Trade Association within the Aluminum Germany (AD) industry association, succeeding the long-serving former Chairman, Thomas Reuther, who previously served as a board member at Trimet Aluminum SE.

Ralf Köring, the Managing Director of Speira Recycling Services GmbH, has also been elected Deputy Chairman of the AD Aluminium Recycling Trade Association.

Helmut Greiner said, "I am looking forward to the exciting and challenging task. At this point, I would like to express my thanks to my predecessor, Thomas Reuther, for his many years of commitment."

"Aluminium recycling guarantees a sustainable supply of primary materials and contributes to Europe's independence in the raw materials sector. However, implementation requires stable political framework conditions for long-term planning and maintaining or improving competitiveness in the aluminium industry."

Marius Baader, the Managing Director of Aluminium Deutschland, stressed, "The work of the trade association and its member companies makes an enormous contribution to a functioning circular economy. We have high recycling rates. There can only be further investments in modern recycling technologies and capacity expansions if sufficient energy is available at competitive prices in the long term."
