We are truly proud that our metal, produced by clean energy, contributes into the development of the green economy. I would like to thank Hyundai Sungwoo for their continued confidence and support of our products after many years of successful cooperation together as we both share our values and commitment to sustainable development," said Roman Andryushin, sales and marketing chief of the alloy supplier.
RUSAL aluminium is produced from renewable electricity.
Its primary foundry alloys are produced by the Boguchansk, Irkutsk, Khakas, Krasnoyarsk, Novokuznetsk and Sayanogorsk smelters.
