Neuman Aluminium

What Neuman Aluminium does

Neuman Aluminium is a seventh-generation, family-owned Austrian aluminum manufacturer headquartered in Marktl/Lilienfeld, wholly owned by CAG Holding (controlled by Dr. Cornelius Alexander Grupp). Founded in 1780, the company operates 10 manufacturing plants across 5 countries (Austria, Slovakia, USA, Mexico, China) with approximately 2,500 employees and reported FY2024 revenue of €550 million. Its four operating technology divisions are: (1) Casting, which performs horizontal continuous casting and slug production at 60,000 tonnes per year using 95% recycled material yielding a 0.9 kg CO2/kg footprint; (2) Impact Extrusion, a cold-forming process using mechanical knuckle-joint presses up to 2,000 tons (described as the world's largest) for parts up to 500 mm length; (3) Direct Extrusion, producing approximately 33,000 tons of profiles per year with automated assembly and machining; and (4) Profile Processing & Forming (PWG), which performs secondary processing and specializes in guide rails for automotive sunroofs and panoramic roofs.

The company serves five market segments—Mobility/Automotive (the primary segment, including e-mobility battery components, ADAS sensor housings, chassis and crash structures, e-motor housings, and roof opening systems), Construction Industry, Packaging (aerosol cans, tubes, lids, caps using patented Neucan 3.1/3.2 alloys), Electrical Engineering (heat sinks, lamp housings), and Diverse Markets (mechanical engineering, medical, consumer goods). Named enterprise customers include BMW (battery pressure plates and tie rods for the i3 since 2013 and the Gen-5 battery), the VW Group (guide rails for Passat, Q5, Tiguan, Superb, Kodiaq), Mercedes-Benz/AMG (chassis components), McLaren (high-performance chassis), Tubex (aerosol can slugs), and PREFA (flood protection systems).

Neuman operates a direct enterprise sales model with quote-based pricing, engineering co-development, and intensive customer collaboration from materials science through process optimization. The company is IATF 16949 certified across all major sites and holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 22095 (mass balance), and 50001 certifications, plus TISAX for automotive information security. Vertical integration across casting, extrusion, and profile processing, combined with patented alloys and OEM-qualified materials, anchors a B2B industrial supplier business model whose revenues are primarily hardware sales of custom aluminum components.
