Tomago Aluminium Company Pty Ltd

Directions Website

Tomago Aluminium Company Pty Ltd Tomago Aluminium is Australasia’s largest aluminium smelter and has been operating 24 hours a day In 1991 further expansion started.

Construction on Tomago Aluminium began in 1981 and continued until first production in 1983. At the time of first production, it was the world’s first large-scale AP18 plant, with two potlines and an annual production capacity of about 240,000 tonnes. A third potline and additional facilities were added to the site and were operational by early 1993. The expansion increased annual output by 140,000 tonnes and created 150 new positions at the smelter. The flow-on employment impact created an additional 750 jobs in the region. Expansion continued with the extension of Potlines 1 and 2 which was completed in December 1998. In 2001 Tomago Aluminium received Development Approval for the AP22 project, a $200million conversion to AP22 technology. The project involved the re-engineering of the pots to run at greater capacity, taking the smelter’s output to 530,000 tonnes annually. In 2009, development approval was obtained to further increase metal production to 580,000 tonnes per year, and in 2015 approval to increase production to 590,000 tonnes was granted by the Department of Planning.

What happens in global aluminium markets matters here in the Hunter?

Global markets are increasingly competitive and contested, and decisions made now will shape Australia’s role for decades. That’s why Tomago Aluminium will be tuning in to the Australian Aluminium Council’s webinar on Wednesday 4 November, and we’d encourage our network to join us.

Council CEO Johnson will be joined by Clark of .net, who has spent more than 30 years analysing global aluminium supply chains and costs. They will discuss where markets are heading and what it means for Australia’s integrated industry, from bauxite and alumina through to smelting, manufacturing and recycling. Alan will also take questions on the day.

1:00pm AEDT (12:00pm AEST, 10:00am AWST)

Celebrating Tomago Aluminium’s future!

Our employees and their families came together on Sunday at the beautiful Hunter Region Botanic Gardens for a Family Picnic Day.

Families enjoyed live music, food trucks, rides, face painting, climbing and bungee activities, garden games, site tours of the gardens and our smelter and plenty of fun in the sunshine.

More importantly, the day gave us an opportunity to thank our workforce and their families for their support and to celebrate our long-term future together.

We also raised $3000 for Variety, the children’s charity from our raffle, thanks to some generous donations from local businesses. A huge thank you to the following organisations for their donations:

• Hunter Ice Skating
• Koala Sanctuary Port Stephens
• Hunter Valley Horses
• Peterson House

Today, our workforce came together to recognise R U OK? Day and remind one another that a conversation can make a real difference.

Employees connected over a BBQ hosted by MATES in Manufacturing, signed the MATES flag and shared cupcakes with their crews. Our onsite Converge wellbeing consultant, Nikki Strong, also visited production areas to meet employees and raise awareness of the support available.

R U OK? Day may happen once a year, but checking in with those around us matters every day.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect, listen and show their support. 💛

Tomago Aluminium was proud to join the Australian Aluminium Council and industry colleagues at Parliament House in Canberra for the Aluminium Showcase 2026.

For the first time, Australia’s complete aluminium value chain, from bauxite mining and alumina refining to smelting, manufacturing and recycling, came together in one place to demonstrate its importance to Federal decision-makers.

CEO Jérôme Dozol and CFO Andrew Newman represented Tomago at the showcase, which attracted more than 200 attendees, including three Federal Ministers.

Australia’s aluminium industry supports more than 75,000 jobs and contributes $18 billion to the national economy each year. Here at Tomago, we employ more than 1,000 people, engage around 200 contractors and spend $800 million locally each year, supporting businesses, families and communities across the Hunter Region and beyond.

We’re proud to play an important role in an industry that strengthens Australia’s economy, regional communities and manufacturing future.

A strong future for Tomago Aluminium.

We’re proud to announce that Tomago Aluminium has reached an agreement with the Commonwealth and NSW Governments that secures the long-term future of Australia’s largest aluminium smelter.

The agreement will provide Tomago with reliable, internationally competitive electricity through to 2038 and give us the certainty to invest $1.1 billion in the future of our smelter.

This includes investment to improve reliability and performance, extend the life of our assets and strengthen our competitiveness, alongside $100 million for decarbonisation initiatives and demand response capability.

As one of the Hunter’s largest employers and a major contributor to Australian manufacturing, this is a significant outcome for our people, their families, our suppliers and the broader Hunter community.

It also positions Tomago to play an important role in NSW’s energy transition, supporting electricity system reliability and the integration of more renewable energy.

CEO Jerome Dozol said the agreement provides the certainty Tomago needs to invest confidently in its future.

“This is a great outcome for our workers, who have lived through a great deal of uncertainty over the last two years, and for the Hunter region and local businesses and suppliers.”

Thank you to our people, unions, shareholders and the Commonwealth and NSW Governments for working together to help secure Tomago’s future.

The next chapter for Tomago starts here.

Thank you to Nikki Nobilo for delivering her second Mental Health First Aid training course onsite at Tomago Aluminium.

So far, 29 employees have completed the course with Nikki, gaining valuable skills and confidence to support someone who may be struggling, whether at work or in their personal lives.

Nikki’s energy and knowledge kept the training engaging, and we look forward to welcoming her back onsite.

This is one of several initiatives supporting mental health and wellbeing at Tomago. One-third of our workforce has also completed Mental Health General Awareness Training with MATES in Manufacturing, as we work towards our goal of becoming a MATES accredited site.

We are also proud to have an EAP counsellor onsite every fortnight, along with a newly equipped Wellbeing Room for employees to access to further support their mental health and wellbeing.
