Established in 1905 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, Norsk Hydro is a diversified and dynamic company with expertise in various sectors of the materials industry. The company is particularly notable for its work across six key business segments: Bauxite & Alumina, Primary Metal, Metal Markets, Rolled Products, Energy, and Extruded Solutions. Operating under its corporate name, Hydro, the company is recognized globally, with a subtle approach to branding that does not heavily emphasize individual product lines. Nevertheless, Hydro's ownership of entities such as Hydro Extruded Solutions positions them as significant contributors to their respective sectors. Norsk Hydro's presence and influence extend beyond its Norwegian roots, with a major footprint in Europe, notably in Germany, and significant activities in Brazil. Its global operations also cover North America, Asia, and Oceania, thereby fulfilling the needs of its diverse customer base across the world. (Powered by AI)
