Based on a solid order inflow at Stockach Aluminium since the initial takeover of a 50% share by BAGR at the beginning of 2017, targeted investments have been initiated to increase the melting and casting capacities from today’s 50,000 tonnes to an annual capacity of 90,000 tonnes. In a first move, a 60-tonne melting and casting furnace will be installed and put into operation in 2019.

With a total slab casting capacity of 180,000 tonnes per year, the affiliated companies will become a leading independent seller of rolling slabs in Europe. BAGR and Stockach Aluminium will provide additional benefit to their business partners by further enhancing their operational and strategic collaboration and mutual know-how transfer. Nonetheless, both companies will preserve their legal independence.
