Alux do Brasil

What Alux do Brasil does

Alux do Brasil is a private Brazilian secondary aluminum producer founded in 2002 and headquartered in Nova Odessa, São Paulo. The company specializes in recycling aluminum scrap and producing aluminum alloys for industrial customers across the automotive, metallurgical, construction, and domestic utensils sectors. Since its founding, Alux has produced over 400,000 tons of secondary aluminum and self-positions as one of the main suppliers of secondary aluminum in Brazil. Its website footer references CBA (Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio) and Votorantim, though the formal ownership structure is not explicitly disclosed.

The company's product portfolio centers on three core offerings — liquid aluminum delivery, Alux ingots, and customer scrap re-processing — supplemented by a custom alloy development service that develops alloy formulations tailored to specific client requirements, supporting both large-scale and smaller batch orders. Alux operates industrial furnaces powered primarily by natural gas and manages the full production process from raw material sorting through to final alloy delivery. The company holds ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) certifications, both renewed in April 2024, providing third-party validated quality and environmental credentials.

Alux operates a B2B direct sales model targeting enterprise industrial customers, with sales conducted via phone, physical office contact, and a corporate website. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are generated per customer request. The company serves a domestic Brazilian market only, with 62 employees and no disclosed expansion outside Brazil. The revenue model is essentially industrial commodity sales — selling recycled aluminum alloys to manufacturers — augmented by the higher-margin custom alloy development service and the scrap re-processing service that converts customer-returned scrap into spec-compliant alloys.

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Gränges: Swedish aluminum rolling and recycling company producing rolled aluminum products for automotive, HVAC, and packaging. Comparable in the secondary aluminum and custom alloy space, though primarily serving European and North American markets.
• Norsk Hydro: Global integrated aluminum company with significant primary production, extrusion, and recycling operations. Comparable as a broad industry incumbent offering overlapping capabilities in aluminum alloys and recycling, including in South America.
• Novelis: Global leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, subsidiary of Hindalco Industries. Operates large-scale secondary aluminum processing including in Brazil, directly comparable to Alux's recycling and alloy production model but at vastly greater scale and with integrated downstream capabilities.
• CBA (Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio): Brazilian primary aluminum producer and member of the Votorantim group. Likely affiliated with Alux do Brasil based on shared footer references; operates at much larger scale and produces primary (bauxite-based) aluminum, which overlaps with Alux's downstream alloy production from a different feedstock source.
• Hydro (Brazil operations): Norsk Hydro's Brazilian operations include extrusion and recycling. Comparable as a competitor in the Brazilian secondary aluminum market with international backing and broader product portfolio.
• Constellium: Global manufacturer of aluminum rolled products and specialty alloys serving automotive, aerospace, and packaging markets. Comparable in producing custom aluminum alloys for industrial customers, though Constellium focuses on higher-value specialty products rather than commodity secondary alloys.

Direct peers

• Sigma Industries: Brazilian aluminum component manufacturer for automotive and industrial markets. Comparable as a Brazilian aluminum value-added parts producer serving similar automotive and industrial customers, though focused on finished components rather than alloy production.

Regional players

• Albras (Alumínio Brasileiro): Major Brazilian primary aluminum smelter based in Pará, operated as a joint venture with Hydro. Comparable as a Brazilian aluminum producer, though focused on primary rather than secondary production; competes for talent and customers in the same Brazilian industrial ecosystem.
