Slovakia returns to the ranks of aluminium producers. Slovalco resumes production
After more than three years, Slovakia is returning to the ranks of countries that produce primary aluminium. Slovalco, a joint venture of Hydro and Penta Investments, has begun the gradual restart of production in Žiar nad Hronom. In the first phase, it will restore annual production capacity of 75,000 tonnes of aluminium. The company will invest at least EUR 100 million in the restart, and the resumed production will support more than 200 jobs.
