Revenue model

1. Primary Aluminum Production and Export: Production of 460,000 tonnes annually of primary aluminum, with approximately 80% exported to demanding international markets. This represents the dominant revenue stream.
2. Elaborated Aluminum Products: 32,000 tonnes of elaborated aluminum products (windows, architectural systems, profiles) sold domestically (100% local market). Includes aluminum solutions for architecture and construction.
3. Wind Energy Generation: Wind energy production for internal consumption, reducing electricity costs and carbon footprint of aluminum production. The wind farm expansion is a major investment project.
