Mal spokeswoman Andrea Nemeth wasn’t immediately available to comment when called by Bloomberg. The company is Hungary’s only alumina refiner and the country’s second-largest enterprise in the aluminum industry, according to its website. Mal employs 1,100 people in and around the Ajka refinery and exports 80 percent of the alumina it produces, which accounts for 12 percent of the European market, it said.
