On March 26, AMAG Austria Metall AG announced that it has invested EUR 50 million in a modern strip finishing system for high-quality aluminum surfaces in Ranshofen.
The new system is used for the surface treatment of aluminum strips with a thickness of up to five millimeters, which have a wide range of applications in architecture and consumer electronics (decorative surfaces), cosmetic packaging as well as radiators and heat exchangers (solder-plated products), for trim parts in automobiles and as tread plates.
The core element of the new strip finishing system is a highly efficient device for cleaning the surface of hot and cold-rolled aluminum strips. Advanced digitalization serves to increase quality and productivity in surface treatment as well as to achieve and demonstrate sustainability goals such as reducing the CO2 footprint.
