Who it serves
Industrial customers, distributors and buyers of finished products.
How the business works
The business turns inputs into products with defined specifications. It combines production, quality control and sales; volumes and unit costs help explain its performance.
What drives this activity
Demand, input prices, energy, capacity utilisation and inventories.
The business in practice
Selected products, companies and assets from corporate publications.
- Puerto Madryn and Abasto
Puerto Madryn centres on primary aluminium. In Abasto, Buenos Aires, the fabricated-products division extends the range with rolled and extruded products. Producing metal and shaping it for industrial use are separate stages.
Aluar · industrial profileConsulted
- From alumina to profiles and sheet
Electrolysis converts alumina into liquid aluminium, which is then cast into commercial forms. Rolling reduces slab thickness; extrusion pushes billets through dies to create profiles.
Aluar · production processConsulted
- Product formats reveal industrial uses
Aluar’s billets feed extrusion and its slabs feed rolling. Wire rod serves electrical conductors, while alloy ingots are used to cast parts, particularly automotive components. Foil supplies packaging and insulation. The metal therefore reaches different industrial value chains in different commercial formats.

- Window and façade systems
Aluar’s architectural range includes window and integrated façade systems as well as industrial profiles. It addresses architects, builders and developers. This specialisation adds system design and applications to the metal; it does not make Aluar the owner of buildings that use its products.

Its place in Aluar
Aluar connects primary aluminium production with fabricated products and power generation. Electricity is a major input in electrolysis, so energy integration helps explain the group’s industrial structure.
Economics of the whole company
Business economics · explained by La Plata
Customers, operations & revenue
Aluar receives alumina and anode materials, uses electrolysis to produce liquid aluminium and casts industrial formats. Rolling and extrusion add processing for specific applications. Customers buy metal with defined dimensions and properties; energy assets are linked to an electricity-intensive production process.
What shapes business performance
Aluminium prices, product premiums and alumina and energy costs affect margins. Production continuity matters because not all costs decline with output. Tonnes sold, fabricated-product mix, inventories and cash needed for maintenance and investment should be considered separately.
