Shaping Tomorrow: Alumex PLC’s Journey from Local Roots to Global Success
In today’s world, where sustainability, innovation, and resilience matter more than ever, Alumex PLC stands out as a shining example of transformation. What began as a small aluminium extrusion plant in Sri Lanka has now grown into the country’s leading aluminium manufacturer—and a rising force in global markets.
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader
Building Trust with Quality and Innovation
Alumex is known for its high-quality aluminium solutions used in homes, buildings, and industrial projects. The company holds certifications such as ISO 9001:2015, Qualicoat, and the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), and offers warranties of up to 25 years thanks to its advanced surface treatments. In the financial year 2024/25 alone, Alumex launched 44 new products designed for export markets.
Sustainability at the Core: The ‘Elevate’ ESG Plan
Sustainability is no longer a choice—it’s a responsibility. Alumex launched its ‘Elevate’ ESG Roadmap in December 2024, aligning with global efforts to fight climate change and achieve net-zero emissions.
Some key achievements:
- 46% of aluminium used is recycled
- Working to cut indirect (Scope 3) emissions and switch to renewable energy
- 450 trees planted in 2025 through reforestation efforts
- First aluminium company in Sri Lanka to meet the ASI sustainability standard
Growing Exports, Reaching the World
Driven by a vision beyond the local market, Alumex began exporting its products in 2019. Today, the company proudly supplies sustainably manufactured aluminium profiles to 13 countries across five continents.
Strategic partnerships, especially in North America, opened doors to top-tier markets such as the USA, Australia, and New Zealand. Alumex also showcased its products at major global events like Aluminium 2025 in USA, Intersolar 2025 in Europe and the UK Metals Expo.
By prioritizing high-quality products and reliable service, Alumex has established long-term collaborations with leading international brands and distributors. This commitment has not only expanded the company’s global footprint but has also made a significant contribution to Sri Lanka’s export economy.

A Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability is a key part of Alumex’s philosophy. The company has taken important steps to reduce its environmental impact, including launching its low carbon aluminium brand “Özon” in 2022. This initiative supports sustainable production methods and has even contributed to saving over 5,800 trees in a year.
Additionally, Alumex uses over 56% recycled aluminium in its production process and continually works on improving energy efficiency. Such efforts not only help the environment but also make Alumex a leader in sustainable manufacturing practices—a quality that is increasingly important to customers worldwide.
