Slatina, September 20, 2017 - Alro S.A. (BVB: ALR, "Company" or "Alro"), the largest aluminum producer in mainland Europe (excluding Russia and the Scandinavian Peninsula), supports cultural projects signed by Romanian artists, by donating aluminum materials. The Company assisted the painter and sculptor Alexandra Nechita in her project of making painted metal sculptures.

"We constantly support cultural, social, educational projects with the role of developing the communities in which we operate," said Gheorghe Dobra, Managing Director Alro. "In our business, we aimed at expanding the range of products in order to produce, in Romania, aluminum with the highest degree of processing. We joined the project by Alexandra Nechita, because it is made entirely of Romanian material by a Romanian artist whose reputation has reached the world".

Three-dimensional or multi-dimensional painted sculptures that Alexandra Nechita made are exposed during the Enescu Festival in open air, in front of the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest within the Sculpture Garden project. Subsequently, the artist will donate them.

Alro is also involved in other educational and social projects, from partnerships with the Romanian Red Cross to partnerships with high school, post-secondary and university schools, to facilitate the practice of pupils and students, to carry out year-long, bachelor, master, doctoral studies, various research topics, or the organization of Vocational Training classes through Vocational School, in occupations of interest to Alro.

Alexandra Nechita is a Romanian painter, established in the United States of America. Her paintings are cubist, and she had the first first personal exhibition at the age of eight years at the Los Angeles Municipal Library.

Alexandra Nechita's paintings are exhibited in museums all over the world, in the Vatican art collection, in the National Art Museum in Romania, and in private collections owned, among others, by Larry King, David Letterman, Whoopi Goldberg or Calvin Klein.
