Alunorf's production comprises the three units aluminium melting, hot rolling and cold rolling. Auxiliary and service departments, e. g. energy supply, maintenance workshops and stores support the production units. Alunorf employs more than 2,200 people; the production is organised in shift systems that allow operation around the clock, 7 days a week.
