ALCAN LAUNCHES NEW LAMINATION LINE
Alcan Inc. officially put into commission a new €10 million lamination line within its composite business unit at Alcan's Singen site. The investment positions the business well to meet its customers' demand for two-meter composite panels, broadens its product range, and represents a tangible commitment to its customers. "This investment enables us to respond even more closely to customers' needs and to reinforce our position in our successful Dibond and Alucobond products," said Michel Jacques, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alcan Engineered Products. "The fact that Alcan is investing €10 million in this Composites facility illustrates the importance of our operation in Singen. I am delighted that another milestone has been reached on schedule. It speaks volumes for the knowledge and commitment of our employees, to whom I am especially grateful," he added. The larger panels are particularly well suited for the display market, in which new technologies, including large-format direct digital printing, are being used more and more. Through this investment, Alcan Composites, one of the fast-growing business units of Alcan Engineered Products, further underlines its leading position in the European market and neighbouring regions, and secures its long-term future at the Singen plant. Alcan is a multinational, market-driven company and a global leader in aluminum and packaging. With world-class operations in primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum as well as flexible and specialty packaging, aerospace applications, bauxite mining and alumina processing, today's Alcan is well positioned to meet and exceed its customers' needs for innovative solutions and service. Alcan employs approximately 70,000 people and has operating facilities in 55 countries and regions.
