Greener aluminium for growing industries.

The GFG Alliance’s ALVANCE Aluminium Group brings together its assets across the global aluminium supply chain.

This includes Europe’s largest aluminium smelter ALVANCE Aluminium Dunkerque, and the UK’s only remaining aluminium smelter at Fort William, Scotland. ALVANCE’s Fort William smelter is powered by GFG Alliance’s hydroelectric station located on the slopes of Ben Nevis, Scotland’s highest mountain.

Headquartered in Paris, ALVANCE shares a commitment to GFG Alliance’s carbon neutral by 2030 (CN30) initiative and aims to position itself as a champion of GREENALUMINIUM.
