A sustainable future for industry and society

The GFG Alliance is an international alliance of independent companies that work for tomorrow’s generations as much as for today’s. On a planet of limited resources, rising population and cycles of prosperity and recession, we place great emphasis on making our enterprises both resilient and sustainable.

For more than 60 years we’ve operated in sectors that are fundamental to the economy: energy, metals, engineering, logistics, as well as infrastructure, financial services, property and mining. We’ve always sought to add value to these industries by doing things differently, and that remains the prevailing spirit of our companies today.

At the heart of the GFG Alliance approach is our focus on integrating and innovating to deliver value throughout the process; from the renewable energy that recycles metal in our furnaces and mills, and the precision engineering in our manufacturing plants, to the industry-friendly financial services that enable trade and invigorate the whole business environment in which we operate.

With a range of physical assets and human resources spanning over 30 countries and over 300 sites, our business is constantly growing and evolving in pursuit of our corporate vision. Our ability to deliver that vision is defined not only by the size of our operation, but by the quality of our people. We recruit the best, safeguard people and skills, and then invest to ensure they continue to grow as we do.

We have an industrial heritage that stretches back many decades but more importantly, we have an inspiring vision that delivers a smarter, more sustainable and viable future for both industry and society. It is a vision that will ensure we continue to push the boundaries and deliver for many decades to come.

Decoupled IntegrationGFG Alliance operates across the entire supply chain

The GFG Alliance combines the expertise of world-class industrial, natural and financial resources, working together to deliver a competitive solution through a strategy called decoupled integration.

With capabilities spanning commodities trading, recycling, energy, mining, steel and aluminium manufacture, advanced engineering, as well as financial and property services, the Alliance members are individually owned and managed but collectively offer decades of expertise that delivers a strong competitive edge across the value chain.

Their common purpose is the regrowth of industry and the strategy for delivering this vision is called decoupled integration.

Through this approach each of the GFG Alliance businesses is integrated to serve the other parts of the group while also delivering for their external customers.

The model enables economic value creation for the core industrial group with the full benefits of integration while ensuring each business operates in an agile way enabling independent growth.

GREEN strategiesAn economically and environmentally sustainable future for the global metals industry

The GFG Alliance, is transforming steel and aluminium manufacturing into a global product and technology leader through its GREENSTEEL and GREENALUMINIUM strategies.

GREENSTEEL aims to recycle and upcycle the growing mountain of scrap steel, using electric arc furnaces powered by renewable energy. Raw materials and resources are secured locally to make world-class products that sell both nationally and globally. High grade engineered steel and alloys from the process feed engineering operations that make advanced components for demanding sectors such as automotive, aerospace, marine, off-road and defence.

GREENSTEEL provides a more flexible and customer focused solution while also reducing the carbon footprint of manufacture, shortening the supply

chain, retaining and upgrading skills, stimulating new technologies and engendering a sustainable and globally competitive metal manufacturing sector. GFG is actively pursuing GREENSTEEL in the UK, Australia and the USA whilst it is also developing plans for implementing the strategy globally.

The GFG Alliance has also recently extended its GREENSTEEL approach to aluminium production where it is currently using the same principles to transform this sector through its GREENALUMINIUM strategy.

AluminiumGreener aluminium for growing industries

GFG Alliance has a growth strategy in aluminium as a core product in its portfolio and sees an opportunity in adding value to aluminium for the benefit of customers and communities.

The GFG Alliance’s vision for re-establishing metals manufacturing in the UK resulted in the re-birth of the British Aluminium brand. The Alliance acquired the last primary aluminium smelter in the country, based in Fort William. The facility currently manufactures 48,000 tonnes of slab and sow every year and is powered by hydropower and biofuel energy, making it one of the greenest metal production plants in the world.

In addition to serving the international market with semi-finished aluminium, the Alliance is also investing to upgrade the smelter and has recently been granted planning permission to build a brand new facility for the production of aluminium wheels. When fully constructed, the state of the art plant will be the only UK based site of this type and will manufacture

products for the UK and European automotive industry. It will complement the Alliance’s current downstream aluminium capabilities which include 5 aluminium casting operations, an aluminium wheel plant in France and an aluminium pressings facility, serving the same market.

As a further step in growing its aluminium portfolio, in December 2018 the GFG Alliance acquired the largest European aluminium smelter based at Dunkirk from Rio Tinto. Plans for the smelter include both serving existing customers with aluminium slab and ingots, as well as working with all stakeholders to develop downstream manufacturing activities to serve the growing European automotive market.
