Spain

In Spain, Hydro is present with aluminium extrusion operations and as a supplier of building systems and aluminium metal products

The company’s aluminium building systems activities are based in Rubi, near Barcelona, and with an office in Madrid. However, the largest of the building systems operations are located in the northern part of Spain, from the Alumafel-brand group, which Hydro acquired in July 2008.

Hydro's extrusion operations are located in La Roca and in Pinto. The company also operates a facility for surface treatment of extruded aluminium. This facility, located in Santa Oliva, about 75 kilometers south of Barcelona, includes painting and anodizing operations.

The La Roca extrusion plant, also near Barcelona, was founded in 1960 and taken over by Hydro in 1991. It has two extrusion presses and primarily serves general extrusion customers.

The Pinto plant, established in 1987 and located near Madrid, was acquired in April 2008. The site also has two extrusion presses. It serves general extrusion customers, and has large parts of its production aimed toward the industrial sector and building industry in Spain.

Hydro sells rolled products through its office in Barcelona and recycles aluminium at its metal remelter in Azuqueca de Henares.
