In 2006, TRIMET assumed operations of an electrolysis plant in Hamburg and within a year, the plant was once again producing at full capacity in 270 electrolytic furnaces. After the modernization of the anode furnace, the annual production increased to 130,000 metric tons while the specific energy consumption was reduced by more than 40 percent. The plant covers 400,000 square meters and employs 340 people.
