Aluminium Deutschland e.V. is repositioning itself strategically and in terms of personnel. In future, the association will represent its political interests independently in Berlin and significantly expand its presence in the capital. The repositioning is accompanied by a change at the head of the association: Angelika El-Noshokaty has replaced the previous Managing Director Marius Baader.

The association had previously delegated parts of its representation of interests to the WirtschaftsVereinigung Metalle, from which it will leave at the end of 2025.
„After more than a year of intensive discussion within our membership, it became clear that the German aluminium industry's focus on its own material, with its own strong voice in Berlin and Brussels, has become indispensable. Aluminium is an elementary key material for the economic transformation in Germany and Europe. Nevertheless, our industry is facing unprecedented political challenges. It was therefore imperative that we represent the interests of the material and its companies directly and independently in Berlin in future.“
