About the GDA
The aluminium industry is a key branch of the economy and makes a very significant contribution to the development of Germany's position as a location for investment and production. The innovative capability of the sector, the economic power of the aluminium industry and the versatility and variety of the possible applications of aluminium as a material play a special role.
The aluminium industry is characterised by close interaction between the individual links in the value-added chain – metal production, manufacture of semi-finished product, final product. The close co-operation with almost every branch of industry forms the cornerstone for technological advance and innovation, and contributes towards improving living standards.
