Annealing

Aluminium — a material with a thousand capabilities

The controlled annealing of aluminium bars is the centerpiece of production at alimex — and the key to a material with extraordinary properties.

In one of the most modern annealing halls in the world, aluminium cast plates are created with outstanding freedom from tension, excellent corrosion resistance and individually adjustable material properties. The plant, which began operating in 2017, sets standards – not only in capacity, but also in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability.

As the inventor of cast plate technology, alimex has unique expertise in the heat treatment of aluminium – expertise that has grown through decades of research and thousands of applications in practice. Our annealing processes are individually adapted to the alloy and requirement – for maximum quality that impresses worldwide.

Quality – guaranteed at every stage

At alimex, quality comes first – from the first alloy to the final delivery. To meet this requirement, we rely on comprehensive quality management along the entire value chain.

Quality begins with dialogue

With us, every project starts with a simple question: What does the customer really need?

Through close cooperation, targeted advice and partnership-based exchange, we create solutions that not only meet expectations, but exceed them.

Quality through experience and system

Our processes are DIN EN ISO 9001 certified. Regular tests and strict controls ensure consistently high standards:

• Chemical analyses, tensile and hardness tests
• pressure and crack tests
• macroscopic and microscopic examinations

This is how we ensure that every product meets our quality standards – precisely, reliably and documented.

Quality in the supply chain too

We work exclusively with qualified, certified partners. Because: only if every step is right can a perfect result be achieved.

Why quality is crucial with aluminium

Worldwide, over 65 million tonnes of aluminium are produced annually – but not all aluminium is the same. Our decades of experience as the inventor of cast plate technology shows: only through consistent quality control can the durability, precision and efficiency that our customers expect be achieved.

alimex stands for quality – from the idea to delivery.

Shipping

We ship quality all over the world.

Punctual and safe delivery is part of the overall optimised process chain at alimex, on which customers worldwide can rely. We prove our reputation as a particularly reliable partner with on-time delivery every day. Our logistics department ensures that all country-specifics, formalities and documents are strictly observed and that the delivery reaches its destination just as well protected as it was packed, and in the same quality as it left the factory – and that on the exact day.
