The Slim plant in Cisterna di Latina will from January 1, 2016 be operated by Rolling Mills International GmbH under the name of SLIM Aluminium S.p.A.
An after-tax book loss of 45 - 55 million euros will be realized in Hydro's fourth-quarter 2015 reported results.
The rolling mill in Cisterna di Latina produces aluminium rolled products, mainly standard strip and sheet, as well as plain foil. Through the agreement, Rolling Mills International GmbH has acquired 100 percent of the shares in Hydro Aluminium Slim S.p.A.
