Our world revolves around aluminium, the material of the future. And our name is a message:
Speira comes from Greek meaning a spiral, which symbolizes a production cycle involving use and reuse.
As a global aluminium rolling and recycling company with locations in Germany and Norway, our vision is to become the industry benchmark for sustainability.
For us, responsibility for our aluminium products does not end with the production process. We are actively involved in closing the materials cycle.
Because we think aluminium further. Speira.
