Slovalco began a gradual restart of primary aluminum production in Žiar nad Hronom on Friday, August 28. The resumption comes after more than three years and is intended to return Slovakia to the ranks of European countries producing primary aluminum. STVR (Minute by Minute) ↗
The individual parts of the electrolysis will be ramped up gradually. The company is investing at least 100 million euros in the restart and, according to published information, will support more than 200 jobs. However, it will not return to its original production capacity for the time being. aktuality.sk ↗
The Prime Minister called the resumption of production good news for Slovakia and Europe. At full capacity, the plant is to produce 17 percent of all primary aluminum production in Europe, which underscores its importance for industrial supply chains. teraz.sk ↗
The restart of production is also important for the Žiar nad Hronom region, where the plant was historically among the major employers. Further developments will depend on the gradual ramp-up of electrolysis, investments, and the facility's ability to stabilize production at the scale announced when the furnaces were started.
