Trimet Aluminium SE has confirmed its sales and earnings in a volatile market environment and created conditions for long-term growth. In the 2016/2017 financial year (30 June), the family business generated sales of approx. € 1.24 billion. Its 1,600 employees produced some 625,000 t of primary and recycled aluminium.
With further investments in plants and infrastructure and the flexibilization of production, the materials specialist set the course for further growth and meeting the future demand for aluminium. With an equity ratio of nearly 50 %, the medium-sized company is well equipped for the challenges of a dynamic market. In addition to Trimet Aluminium SE, the Trimet Group includes Trimet France SAS, with two production sites in France, and Trimet Automotive Holding GmbH, with its subsidiaries in Harzgerode and Sömmerda. In the last financial year, the Trimet Group generated total sales of approx. € 1.7 billion with a total of 3,000 employees. The Trimet Aluminium SE production facilities ran at peak capacities in the 2016/2017 financial year. The aluminium plants in Essen, Hamburg, and Voerde produced some 390,000 t of primary aluminium. The refineries in Gelsenkirchen and Harzgerode also ran at full capacity. A total of 235,000 t of recycled aluminium were produced. Approx. 210,000 t of the total production were supplied in the form of liquid metal, and the remaining 415,000 t as formats or ingots. All Trimet locations have profited from investments during the past financial year. In addition to new, highly efficient production facilities, these include modernized warehouses and infrastructure measures. Investments totaling € 47 million were offset by slightly higher net earnings than the previous year totaling € 34 million. “After integrating new production sites in previous years, last year we prepared Trimet for continued and stable future growth. This included continued investments in all areas of the company, as well as adjustments to the company structure. The companies of the Trimet Group work closely together on a strategic and operational level, and are also closely interlinked in terms of staffing. This allows us to flexibly and efficiently serve complex customer requests,” says CEO Dr. Martin Iffert. Automotive construction is still the growth driver of the aluminium industry. The trend towards e-mobility requires an increasing number of special components, such as battery casings and cable harnesses made of the lightweight metal. Irrespective of the drive technology, the aluminium content in structural bodywork components is steadily increasing. Innovative alloys open up new applications for aluminium in this area. “Automobile manufacturing is changing, and electro-mobility is also playing an increasingly important role in the recycling and supply industries. As a producer of innovative alloys for a wide range of automotive construction applications, Trimet is part of this development,” explains Iffert. Trimet is committed to Germany as an industrial location and assumes social responsibility as a family business. This includes training young people for a long-term career at the company. A total of 65 apprentices started their apprenticeships in technical and commercial professions during the past financial year. These included participants from the Trimet Training Initiative for Refugees. In addition to the regular training positions, twelve young people who have fled to Germany have begun their professional careers at Trimet. They are supported by employees in a mentor program and are prepared for the requirements of regular vocational training through special qualification measures and language courses.
