Ganja Aluminium Plant

The Ganja Aluminium Plant is the hub of Azerbaijan's non-ferrous metallurgy and a key driver of the country's industrial diversification. Located in Ganja, Azerbaijan's second-largest city, the facility is part of the Det.Al Aluminium complex. The plant employs modern electrolysis technology to produce primary aluminum and possesses the capacity to further process it into semi-finished products such as sheets and foils. While the history of aluminum production in Ganja dates back to the Soviet era, the facility only reached international competitiveness following extensive privatization and modernization in recent years. A significant strategic advantage is its proximity to the alunite deposits in the Dashkasan region, which serve as its primary raw material base. The plant employs hundreds of specialists and contributes substantially to Azerbaijan's export volume, with products being shipped to numerous countries worldwide. In addition to production, the company emphasizes adherence to modern environmental standards to manage emissions within Ganja's inhabited areas. The facility stands as a testament to the nation's industrial potential outside the oil sector.
