ASI enlists Hammerer Aluminium Industries under the Performance Standard V2 (2017) Certification

On Wednesday, December 14, Aluminium Stewardship Initiative announced that Hammerer Aluminium Industries (HAI) Extrusion SRL achieved the ASI Performance Standard V2 (2017) Certification for the production of extruded aluminium profiles at its plant in Chisineu-Cris, Romania.

The business manufactures extruded profiles for heat sinks, heat exchangers, electrical systems, and machine and system engineering. Four extrusion lines at the HAI facility have an annual manufacturing capacity of about 22,000 tonnes. TÜV Rheinland Cert GmbH conducted an impartial, outside audit of the Hammerer Aluminium Industries Extrusion SRL business.

“In view of our high motivation to continuously improve our business processes along the entire value chain and to make them sustainable, we are very proud to have now received the ASI Performance Standard for a further location of HAI Group – for our extrusion plant in Romanian Chisineu-Cris. After certifying our two casting plants in 2020 and our extrusion plant in Ranshofen this year – it’s the next step to contribute to a better future and make aluminium as part of the solution for the ambitions of the EU Green Deal,” said Markus Schober, COO HAI Group.

The ASI Certification programme, the first complete voluntary sustainability standard project for the aluminium value chain, was established through an extensive multi-stakeholder engagement process. To address sustainability challenges in the aluminium value chain, the ASI Performance Standard (V2) sets environmental, social, and governance principles and requirements.

“We congratulate HAI for achieving Performance Standard Certification at its Hammerer Aluminium Industries Extrusion SRL operations, making it the first ASI Certified extrusion plant in Romania. The company’s production of extrusions serves key industries like the transportation, building and construction, and industrial machinery sector, which take advantage of aluminium’s lightweighting, strength and conductivity properties. We are pleased to see HAI continue its ASI Certification journey by certifying additional facilities, further underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainability,” said Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI.
