Alvion industrial facility in Gjakova, Kosovo

The project

A circular aluminium platform built for responsible scale.

From Gjakova, Kosovo, Alvion Chem is developing a focused secondary aluminium operation designed around regional scrap recovery, disciplined processing and European industrial demand.

Review the investment case

Project rationale

Recover more value from aluminium already in circulation.

Aluminium scrap is a regional resource. The project is designed to create industrial value by recovering that material, processing it closer to source and returning secondary aluminium to productive use.

The commercial model depends on four disciplines working together: feedstock procurement, metallurgical recovery, quality control and customer demand. The environmental case becomes credible only when the operating model is commercially durable.

For that reason, the project is not presented as a generic “green factory”. It is positioned as circular industrial infrastructure with measurable inputs, outputs, losses and improvement targets.

Industrial principle

Measure recovery. Control quality. Scale with evidence.

The project is being structured around disciplined material acceptance, process records, traceability and customer-ready quality controls.

Why Gjakova

A Southeast European base with a regional sourcing logic.

The project’s location can support relationships with scrap generators and collectors across the Western Balkans while providing road access to customers in Central and Southeast Europe.

Kosovo base

A production site in Gjakova positioned within the Western Balkans industrial corridor.

Regional collection

A sourcing model that can extend across neighbouring Balkan markets as procurement systems mature.

European customers

An export-oriented route to industrial buyers requiring documented secondary aluminium supply.

Growth in phases

Growth is intended to follow feedstock security, operating stability and working-capital discipline.

Development pathway

Commission first. Prove the model. Then scale.

The public targets are intentionally separated from audited performance. Each growth phase should be earned through operating evidence.

01

Commission

Complete installation, safety controls, operating procedures and baseline quality systems.

02

Stabilise

Operate within a disciplined initial range, validate yields and establish reliable feedstock rotation.

03

Scale

Expand only when sourcing, quality, working capital and customer demand support the next stage.

04

Optimise

Improve sorting, traceability, energy performance and alloy-value recovery over time.

Management priorities

The project is managed around variables that determine industrial credibility.

Investors and funding institutions need to understand how operational risk, environmental performance and execution will be controlled.

Feedstock economics

Buy on recoverable metal value and document contamination, alloy family and expected yield.

Process yield

Track input weight, recovered metal, dross, melt losses and production variance by batch.

Safety & controls

Build operating procedures, maintenance discipline and quality release into commissioning.

Working capital

Match raw-material inventory, production cycles and customer payment terms to available liquidity.
