About the company

At Norðurál Grundartangi, 600 employees work around the clock using electricity from Iceland’s renewable resources to process pure aluminum from aluminum oxide. Our product, pure aluminum and various aluminum alloys, are shipped to international customers, turning green energy from falling water and geothermal heat into one of Iceland’s most valuable exports.
