Neuman Aluminium is adding aluminum melting capacity at a new production operation in San Juan del Río, Mexico, where a 40-ton tiltable melting furnace will support on-site remelting of process scrap for automotive component production. The project integrates melting with aluminum forging operations as the manufacturer builds out its North American production capabilities.
The new operation is part of a partnership between Neuman Aluminium and Hirschvogel Group at Hirschvogel’s existing site in San Juan del Río. Neuman will produce directly at the site under a wall-to-wall manufacturing agreement, with a hall for input-material production expected to be ready for occupancy in July 2027.
Hirschvogel previously announced that construction had begun on two new production halls, each spanning approximately 7,500 square meters (80,730 square feet), following an automotive OEM contract for aluminum components to be produced in Europe and North America. The company said the Mexico operation would incorporate aluminum forging and integrated input-material production.
The new melting furnace will be supplied by Jasper GmbH and equipped with the company’s PulsReg pulsed regenerative burner technology. The system is designed for dusty furnace atmospheres and can operate using gas, oil, or coal dust. Jasper has identified the installation as its first major project in North America.
The integrated operation will allow process scrap generated during forming to be remelted directly on site and returned to the material cycle. Production at the expanded Mexico operation is scheduled to begin in early 2028.
