Oetinger aluminium

Oetinger is a leading supplier of recycled aluminium, located in the South of Germany and Czech Republic. For over 75 years, we have been delivering liquid aluminium to top brands in the automotive sector and today, you can find our alloys in various parts of each car, from gear boxes to engines.

Aluminium, due to its lightweight properties and possibilities for endless recycling, is a material of the future. Recycling used aluminium scrap is challenging due to its initial composition and contamination, however, Oetinger’s long-lasting experience in this field allows us to provide customised alloys, perfectly fitting our customers’ needs. Recycling used metal and having business build on circular economy principles puts sustainability at the heart of our values. But we believe we can do more.

Over the next two decades, we aim to fully transition to clean energy, reduce the environmental and social impact of our manufacturing and fully automatise our production.

As part of the transition, Oetinger has already heavily invested into new technologies, including new furnaces and pre-processing units, and installed comprehensive energy and production monitoring system across the plants. In the upcoming years, further investments into optimising our production processes and reducing our energy requirement are planned, all leading to reducing the CO2 footprint of our products and the corresponding labour requirements.
