TRIMET Turns 40 – Since 1985, we have been developing, producing, recycling, and distributing high-quality aluminum products. As a local materials producer, we take responsibility—for the reliable supply of our customers and for the future of our society.
We Keep Rethinking Aluminum
TRIMET combines industrial performance with a spirit of innovation and social responsibility. A forward-looking mindset has shaped our business decisions—for the past 40 years.
TRIMET began operations in 1985 as a three-person office. The core business: trading in metals, especially aluminum. In the early 1990s, the trading company became a producer. Today, 2,400 employees at TRIMET’s smelters, foundries, and remelting plants generate nearly 800,000 tons of primary and recycled aluminum each year.
As an owner-managed family business, we place great value on our independence and close relationships with our customers. They rely on materials of the highest quality. Quality includes sustainability. That’s why we are making significant efforts to improve the energy efficiency of our power-intensive production processes, support the energy transition, and reduce CO₂ emissions.
