Join Arctial
– Establish Europe’s Next Aluminium Platform
We are committed to establishing a new low-carbon primary aluminium production facility that will serve as a strategic industrial platform for Finland and Europe. This project combines industrial scale, technical complexity, and long-term operational planning in a capital-intensive, high-competence environment.
Our mission
Our mission is to deliver a competitive and resilient aluminium production platform that reinforces Europe’s industrial infrastructure and goal of reaching zero CO2 emissions. Aluminium is a fundamental material in energy systems, transport, construction, and advanced manufacturing. Europe’s industrial supply chains require a low-carbon and stable source of primary aluminium in a world that is increasingly unstable. We exist to fill this need with a facility designed for multi-decade operations.
Why Join Now
We are pursuing a feasibility study for a greenfield aluminium production facility in Kokkola, designed from the ground up. This phase of our development represents a formative opportunity. The team we assemble now will determine how the facility functions, how safety and quality are measured, and how operational excellence is delivered. Professionals joining at this stage will have direct influence on design standards, commissioning plans, organisational structures, and technical protocols that carry value far beyond the initial construction phase. It is a chance to help shape an industrial platform with decades of operational relevance.
