We supply our high-quality alloys from our electrolysis plants in Essen, Voerde, and Hamburg, as well as, to a large extent, from the smelting plants for recycled aluminum in Gelsenkirchen (with a yearly capacity of 90,000 t) and Harzgerode. As a result of the company’s die casting plants located in Harzgerode and in nearby Sömmerda, the smelting plant in Harzgerode plays a particularly important role for the automotive division at TRIMET.

The smelting plant in Harzgerode has two modern rotary drum furnaces with capacities of 13 t and 18 t, respectively, plus 5 t of Montanal per batch. In addition, the plant is equipped with three convertors with capacities between 20 t and 25 t, as well as three stack-smelting furnaces with a smelting capacity of 1.5 t per hour. The downstream pig iron casting line has a casting capacity of 10 t per hour. The plant has a daily production of 150 t.

Intelligent lightweight construction from Germany makes cars less heavy

A piece of Harzgerode can be found in nearly every car, for at the local BOHAI TRIMET Automotive site “mobile lightness” is being created. The light metal specialist produces high-quality aluminium castings in modern production halls.

Together with its sister location in Sömmerda, Thuringia, the Harzgerode plant has been supplying the automotive, electrical and machine construction industries for over 140 years. Since 2017, auto parts have been developed and produced jointly in cooperation with the Chinese majority shareholder Bohai Automotive Systems Co., Ltd.

Renowned German and international automotive manufacturers and their suppliers particularly appreciate the high quality and reliability of the vehicle components manufactured in Harzgerode and Sömmerda. Here, customer-specific die cast and permanent mold cast parts are manufactured – including chassis parts, engine blocks, structural parts, clutch and transmission cases, as well as battery compartments, oil pan and motor and gear brackets. The Sömmerda plant mainly produces mechatronic components for nearly all automatic transmissions. Some 1,000 employees work together with their customers to make cars lighter, more economical and, in the process, more ecological.
