Slovenia’s Impol 2000, the parent company of the country’s largest manufacturer of aluminium semi-finished products, Impol Group, is planning to list its shares on the local capital market, a move expected to make share trading easier while bringing additional transparency and disclosure requirements.
The company announced the plan in an invitation to a shareholders’ meeting scheduled for December 3. According to Impol 2000, admission to trading on a regulated market would allow shareholders to buy and sell their shares more easily and quickly. However, the proposed listing would also subject the company to stricter disclosure obligations and regulations governing transactions with related parties.
As of October 29, Impol 2000 had 1,066,767 ordinary, freely transferable, registered no-par value shares. Of these, 979,887 carried voting rights, while the company held 82,108 treasury shares, and another 4,772 shares had no voting rights. Its equity capital stood at EUR 4.45 million (USD 5 million).
The proposed listing comes as Impol 2000 and its wider aluminium business navigate a period of weaker profitability. The company reported a net profit of EUR 8.7 million (USD 9.77 million) in 2025, down from EUR 12.2 million (USD 13.70 million) in 2024, according to data from The CompanyWall Business.
At the group level, Impol ended 2025 with earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR 15.7 million (USD 17.62 million), representing a 48 per cent decline year on year. EBITDA fell 27 per cent to EUR 38.2 million (USD 38.2 million) over the same period.
Despite the weaker annual results, Impol Group has indicated expectations of improved profitability in 2026. In May, the group said it was targeting a pre-tax profit of EUR 18.2 million for the year, despite challenging conditions in the global market.
The planned stock market admission could also bring changes to how the company engages with investors and reports its financial and corporate activities, as regulated-market requirements introduce greater transparency.
The shareholders’ meeting on December 3 will be an important step in the proposed listing process, with the company yet to complete its planned admission to trading.
