Material development

Innovation begins with the question: how can we make the use of aluminium even more efficient? What materials does the market need? Our answers often lead to new standards. For over 50 years, we at alimex have been developing solutions that advance the industry – such as our aluminium cast plate process, which has given an important impetus to the further development of the market.

Innovation in aluminium is part of our identity. That is why we are constantly working on new alloys and annealing processes, thereby repeatedly setting standards for efficiency and competitiveness. With each innovation, we create more possibilities for use and, at the same time, increase efficiency for our customers. This innovative strength is an integral part of our corporate philosophy, which we guide by the principle of “innovation through investment”.

We rely on close partnerships with our suppliers and maintain cooperative relationships with renowned research institutes such as RWTH Aachen, the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology and the Jülich Research Center. This is how we stay at the forefront of technological development and open up new application possibilities.

Proximity to our customers is a key success factor for us. In close cooperation with our distribution partners, we gain valuable insights into the practical requirements of our aluminium castings. Particularly in the solar, semiconductor and display sectors, our research experts develop solutions that meet the specific needs of these demanding industries.
