TRIMET Aluminium SE has started the trial operation of its "virtual battery". For the first time, the energy supply for aluminum production at the Essen plant in Germany can be flexibly controlled.

The Gelsenkirchen recycling plant of TRIMET aluminum SE has put a new rotary furnace into operation for remelting aluminum scrap.

In the first half of 2018, aluminum remained the top performer among all metals traded on the London Metal Exchange. Due to this stock levels of LME-accredited warehouses had shrunk throughout the world.

TRIMET Aluminium SE and Bohai Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. have completed their joint venture for TRIMET’s Automotive Division. Via a subsidiary, Bohai Automotive now holds 75 percent of the shares of the joint venture, which manufactures die-casting components for vehicle construction.
