A history of creativity, prosperity and respect

Innovative and sustainable processing of natural resources defines the essence of Hydro. It all started in 1905 with the first successful use of hydropower to extract nitrogen from the air. Manufactured mineral fertilizer would ensure enough food for a growing population. Now, we mine and refine our own raw materials, produce our own renewable energy, produce primary aluminium based on our own technology and develop advanced and sustainable aluminium solutions. We also recycle more and more to bring as much as possible of the infinitely recyclable aluminium back into the loop.  

Our history has always been about producing useful products that the world needs, about human creativity and enterprise in harnessing what nature has to offer, about the ability to see possibilities and realize limitations. Our history is characterized by a vital force created by people who care for each other and the world around them. 

The crucial work-life balance

We never compromise on the safety of our employees. We also believe it is crucial to live a good life outside of work. To help balance a successful career with a healthy lifestyle, we offer a range of benefits to our employees. The flexibility of our working policies is one way to support this commitment. In addition, we have several recreational and social activities to make our employees feel energized, inspired and satisfied.
