Three words capture it: aluminum-driven progress. Salzburger Aluminium Group (SAG Group) is advancing vehicle lightweight construction, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. From luxury sports cars accelerating to high speeds in seconds to heavy trucks built with advanced lightweight parts, SAG’s rheocasting components from Austria are making a meaningful impact. Heavy goods vehicles also gain from SAG’s lightweight designs, welded using Fronius’s patented Cold Metal Transfer and WireSense technologies.
SAG, originating from Salzburger Aluminium AG founded in 1898, now operates with around 1,100 employees across nine locations in Europe, Mexico, and the US. Its Austrian production sites are in Lend and Schwarzach, close to Salzburg.
As a global leader in aluminum tank production for heavy trucks, SAG supplies prominent OEMs worldwide. Their offerings also include lightweight components for railcars, air reservoirs, pressure tanks, and specialized parts for automotive, rail, and commercial sectors.
SAG’s innovative rheocasting technology, refined over years of research, produces exceptionally strong lightweight components for the automotive industry. Unlike traditional casting, which uses fully liquid aluminum, rheocasting processes the metal in a semi-solid state, creating components with fewer gas inclusions and shrink holes. This laminar flow, with minimal turbulence, enables a high-quality weldable product, thanks to low porosity.
Salzburger Aluminium Group is an international company based in Austria, renowned for its expertise in manufacturing high-quality aluminum components and systems, primarily for the automotive, commercial vehicle, aerospace, and railway sectors.
With a strong focus on lightweight design and sustainable solutions, SAG specializes in products such as fuel tanks, air reservoirs, and structural components, which are valued for their durability and reduced environmental impact.
Operating globally, the company has production facilities and subsidiaries across Europe, North America, and Asia, allowing it to serve an extensive range of markets and customers worldwide. SAG places a strong emphasis on innovation and precision engineering, utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver products that meet strict quality standards. Through its commitment to sustainable practices and energy-efficient solutions, Salzburger Aluminium Group continues to be a trusted partner in high-performance aluminum applications.
