Alumina d.o.o., formerly known as Birač AD, has been engaged in the production of aluminosilicate products since 1978. and from the very beginning, it has been one of the most important and largest industrial complexes in this region.
Over the past decade, we have exponentially developed high-quality products in the field of aluminosilicate chemistry, producing various types of hydrates and alumina, fine precipitated hydrates, more than 10 types of zeolites, silica gel, and liquid water glass. Today, we employ over 1,300 workers and create additional jobs for 300 direct suppliers, more than 20 transport companies, and over 150 direct customers who use our products in a wide range of technologies.
We are proud to say that today we are one of the significant international industrial producers of aluminosilicate products on both the European and global markets. We are a fully export oriented company (over 98% of our production is exported), delivering our products to 55 countries around the world to approximately 310 different destinations.
As of January 2024, Alumina d.o.o. is owned by Pavgord d.o.o. Foča, and in May of the same year, Pavgord d.o.o. became the largest shareholder of the company Boksit AD Milići. Alumina is the main partner of Boksit AD, with a long-term contract for the supply of bauxite ore, one of the primary raw materials for Alumina’s production process. This strategic connection ensures business stability and continuity of our operations.
On October 6, 1978, the Birač Alumina Factory was opened in Zvornik, with a capacity of 600,000 tons of metallurgical alumina per year.
The alumina factory “Birač” is undergoing intensive development in the field of alumo and aluminosilicate chemistry, initiating the production of synthetic 4A zeolite for detergents, water glass, ceramic fibers, and white fillers. We are quickly becoming a global leader in the production of detergent zeolite, with record sales capacity.
Improvement of production through the construction of a vertical kiln, with a capacity of 1,200 to 1,400 tons per day.
Transformation of business strategy and transition to specialty products, with the introduction of industrial production of 3A zeolites of various types and white hydrates.
Implementation of new production lines for dry and milled hydrates, fine precipitated hydrates, chromatographic silica gel, high-silicate zeolites and corundum, with expansion of production capacity.
Pavgord acquired 100% ownership of Alumina and became the majority owner of “Boksit” a.d. Milići, ensuring a reliable supply of bauxite from its own mine. Alumina was declared the largest exporter in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which further confirms our strategic position in the aluminosilicate industry.
