AMAG supplies aluminium products to the aircraft, automotive, sports equipment, lighting, mechanical engineering, construction and packaging industries.
The new facility forms part of the "AMAG 2020" expansion project, which – together with the new cold rolling mill and a multitude of other final plants – marks an important milestone for the company’s successful future, it said.
Since the start of its plant expansion in the 2012 to 2018 period, the company has invested a total of EUR 620 million in Upper Austria and EUR 375 million in the Innviertel district.
“Upper Austria is not only strong in metal production, but also in mechanical and plant engineering. This is clearly demonstrated by AMAG's cooperation with its project partners Fill and Fronius. The plant ordered by AMAG entailing an investment volume of EUR 4 million was constructed by the company Fill as general contractor and equipped with state-of-the-art welding technology (CMT "Cold Metal Transfer" plant) from Fronius. Two fully automated welding robots are deployed at the new cladding station, thereby ensuring the highest and most consistent quality in the welding process, according to company press release.
