Hydro Begins Construction of Flagship Aluminium Recycling Plant in Torija, Spain

On March 17, 2025, Hydro broke ground on its flagship aluminium recycling plant in Torija, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The €150 million facility is set to begin operations in 2026, producing 120,000 tonnes of aluminium extrusion ingots annually to supply key industries such as transportation, automotive, construction, and energy with low-carbon recycled aluminium.

The new plant will operate in synergy with Hydro’s existing facility in Azuqueca, bringing their combined capacity to over 200,000 tonnes. Utilizing advanced sorting and production technologies, the Torija plant will recycle up to 70,000 tonnes of post-consumer scrap per year, manufacturing high-recycled-content specialty alloys.

Hydro plans to hire 65 new employees ahead of the plant’s launch, reinforcing its commitment to aluminium circularity and European industrial competitiveness.
