Aluminium Dunkerque is currently developing an aluminium with a purity level of between 99.98% and 99.998% pure aluminium. Intended for the semiconductor, capacitor and battery markets, it will be launched on the market in 2027. Total capacity will be around 3,000 tonnes per year, once the 5 casting units are up and running. Production trials will take place in mid-2025. Like the rest of our range, this is a low-carbon aluminium, a key criterion for our customers.
