Hydro’s aluminium extrusion plant certified against ASI Performance Standard and Chain of Custody Standard

Hydro’s aluminium manufacturing plant in Hungary has been certified against Aluminium Stewardship Initiative’s (ASI) Performance Standard and Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard. The certification covers all the site’s operations, including its extensive automotive-related activities.

 “This is a great achievement for us in Székesfehérvár, and a credit to the hard work we put into this. ASI certification is a step forward for us in our sustainability agenda, and it supports our customer demands for aluminium products that are sourced and produced responsibly,” says managing director Frank Iepema.

This plant is Hydro’s largest aluminium extrusion plant in Europe, with six presses, surface coating capabilities and 300 machines for fabrication.

The facility has been producing structural components for electric cars since 2012. The company’s products are used in most of the premium electric cars produced in Europe.

 “This is another milestone for our strong team in Hungary, and for our organization as a whole. Doing business the right way is what our company is about,” said executive vice president Egil Hogna, who leads Hydro’s Extruded Solutions business area.
