• excellent processing qualities
• long life
• easy to recycle
• two thirds lighter than steel
• optimum surface finishing

Tomorrow`s products require materials fulfilling the highest demands: lightweight, yet robust, easy to work, yet suitable for the whole host of applications, at the same time economical in manufacturing and use.

Hardly any other material can meet all these requirements as well as aluminium, thanks to considerable energy savings in the course of a long service life, mainly due to its lightweight. Aluminium is geared towards the future: Aerospace solutions would be unthinkable without aluminium, in architecture, transport, electronics and many other fields, lightweighting has become a vital necessity and an important aspect in the climate change efforts.

A special advantage of used aluminium products is their excellent ability to be reutilised. Without any deterioration in quality, the same or other equally high quality products can be made from recycled aluminium.

Modern aluminium alloys are around two thirds lighter than steel and can withstand extreme thermal and mechanical strain. Depending on alloy, strength and surface, these can be processed differently, are corrosion-resistant and will last for decades. Economic and ecological bonus points, achieved by efficiency in production and low maintenance costs.
