ALVANCE is GFG Alliance’s integrated aluminium business, which brings together assets across the aluminium supply chain – from raw materials through to semi-finished components.

With a total current capacity of 332,000 tonnes of primary aluminium produced per annum, ALVANCE owns and operates Europe’s largest Aluminium smelter situated in Dunkerque, France, as well as the only smelter in the United Kingdom – ALVANCE British Aluminium. Powered entirely by sustainable hydro energy, ALVANCE British Aluminium is also one of the worlds greenest sites for primary production. ALVANCE’s downstream portfolio includes Aluminium Duffel, Europe’s pioneer in Automotive Body Sheet (ABS) manufacturer. Plans are also well advanced to add value to the primary metal from Lochaber Smelter and to add significant quantities of high-quality recycled aluminium to build a 100,00 TPS extrusion billet plant.

As one of the most recyclable metals in use today, aluminium is increasingly being produced through the use of renewable energy and the introduction of new technologies and recycling methods. It was therefore a natural step for GFG Alliance’s Chairman Sanjeev Gupta to extend GFG’s CN30 initiative to the ALVANCE brand and aluminium production.
