History

Since 1947 Bresso plant began its activities in the aluminium market. Since then the plant was owned by a private company named “Angeletti & Ciucani” which developed a differentiated production with one foundry, one hot rolling mill, two cold rolling mills and some finishing lines dedicated to the production of sheet, circles and panels.

In the 60s the first Coil Coating line in Italy of aluminium products was installed, after Alcan acquisition of part of the company. In 1972 the ownership of the plant passed entirely to Alcan. The 80s were characterised by a significant program of investments, with the implementation of new finishing lines and a modernization of the painting line which became one of most advanced in the sector. This program continued in the 90s with a product specialization, optimisation of the lay-out strictly related to the new material flow, automation of the warehouses and computerising of the information flow. 6th January 2005 Bresso plant has become part of Novelis.
