ASI certifies Alu Menziken Group against Performance Standard V3.1
Its operations produce a range of bars, rods, tubes and profiles.
20 January 2026
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Alu Menziken Group has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023). The company develops and manufactures aluminium profiles and components for automotive, aerospace, and other industrial applications, covering processes from remelting and billet casting to extrusion, anodising, powder coating, mechanical processing, assembly, and logistics. Across its certified European facilities, the Entity has a combined annual production capacity of over 40,000 tonnes of extruded products and aluminium billets, supplying precision components and profiles to industrial and mobility markets.
The ASI Certification program was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process and is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The ASI Performance Standard V3 and ASI CoC Standard V2 were launched in May 2022 following a multi-year revision process. The ASI Performance Standard V3 defines 11 principles and 62 criteria under three sustainability pillars – Environment, Social, and Governance – with the aim to address pressing sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain, such as biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples rights, circularity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The 2022 Standards and related documents underwent a minor update in 2023, accounting for editorial changes, correction of minor errors and for general clarification, culminating in the release of Performance Standard V3.1 (2023) and Chain of Custody Standard V2.1 (2023).
The independent, third-party audit of Alu Menziken Group was carried out by SZI GmbH. A full listing of audit findings is available in the summary audit reports, linked below. Two minor non-conformances were identified during the audit under the Criteria 5.1a-b Disclosure of GHG Emissions and Energy Use and 5.3a GHG Emissions Reduction Plans. Alu Menziken Group will be implementing corrective actions, to be verified in a follow-up audit.
