About us

Competent, flexible and reliable

That’s us: EGA Leichtmetall. Our heart beats for aluminium. For over 90 years, we have pursued our passion for a versatile, lightweight metal – aluminium.

Continuous casting, which would become the world standard in the production of wrought alloys, was invented at our Hannover location in the 1920s. We have been producing outstanding quality high-grade aluminium ever since this groundbreaking innovation. Even today, our skilled engineers are continuously optimising the continuous casting process.

Our Leichtmetall continuous casting process produces aluminium cast bars with a consistently high quality. Furthermore, we are also constantly perfecting our manufacturing process. This not only enables us to offer classic standard materials, but also application-specific that can raise the bar to new standards.

Leichtmetall is a subsidiary of Emirates Global Aluminium, The largest ‘premium aluminium’ producer in the world.

‘Premium aluminium’ from the Hannover pioneers

Maximum precision and quality

We are pioneers with passion. For us, this means being different and better. That’s why our developers and engineers always look beyond the edge of the cast.

Larger diameters, more sophisticated alloys, new compositions: Leichtmetall is continuously pushing the limits of technical possibilities. In every bar.

Our technological lead is growing – our premium materials are in demand worldwide. Here in Hannover, we offer what we believe is unique expertise.

Everyone working together towards the same goal

Our specialty: high-strength premium quality aluminium. For this purpose, we rely on state-of-the-art technology and a machine park with our own laboratory. However, we also emphasise something else entirely – solid relationships.

We are connected by more than just work. We form closer bonds, like a family. We respect each other, are resilient, and empowered. We pool our experience, train and educate. We’re always on the move.

This Leichtmetall spirit is also valued by our customers: we care. We are a fair, reliable partner with both heart and passion.
