Pascal Hubert as director of Hydro Aluminium in Châteauroux, seems to be sweeping the questions about the future of the site castelroussin. Especially since the depressed construction sector affects the aluminum profile with full force.
"But the extruded products are everywhere in our environment, transport home and in the medical, and we do not see even more," says Pascal Hubert announcing a big market with Japan for hospital beds.
"We expect a growth of activity in 2013," reassures the new director who has worked at MBDA, Bourges, and also internationally. "From January, a team is scheduled the weekend of press extrusion to reach 13,000 tons, against 12,000 now. We also want to double the capacity of the line painting, "says Pascal Hubert which refers to" hundreds of thousands of dollars of investments. "
"The merger with Sapa is good news"
Hydro Aluminium Chateauroux, the Norwegian group Norsk Hydro, has the advantage of grouping several trades for clients from different sectors: "We manufacture containers of batteries for electric vehicles from Renault and steering columns for Range Rover, and the MSDS for roads and urban areas. "
However, the merger - announced in October - Norsk Hydro with its counterpart Orkla is on everyone's lips. Sapa which has two factories in France - Albi (Tarn) and Puget-sur-Argens (Var) - extrusion is a branch of the Norwegian conglomerate.
"This merger will be effective mid-2013, is good news with the goal of becoming the world leader in extrusion as a business competitive, the effect size is important," says the director. Pascal Hubert is convinced: "This is an opportunity for Châteauroux, well placed geographically, in terms of trades and performance."
