Powering progress: AL Circle releases its e-Magazine, “Advanced Industrial Technologies in the Aluminium Industry”

The aluminium industry is evolving—and fast. From automation and AI to smart recycling and intelligent casting, innovation is reshaping how we produce, process, and sustain this essential metal. At the heart of this transformation are the machines, technologies, and engineering minds quietly powering progress behind the scenes.

That’s exactly what AL Circle celebrates in the 31st edition of its e-Magazine publication, “Advanced Industrial Technologies in the Aluminium Industry.”

This isn’t just another round-up of equipment. It’s a deep dive into the technology shaping aluminium’s next decade.

Inside this edition

This issue brings together some of the most respected and forward-thinking companies in the aluminium machinery and automation space:

• EPIQ Machinery explores the shift toward fully automated aluminium handling, where robotics, safety, and sustainability intersect.
• Otto Junker discusses cleaner, smarter induction melting systems designed for modern casthouses.
• EMG Automation (elexis Group) offers a glimpse into high-precision strip guiding and surface inspection systems that elevate quality control.
• FIMI Machinery shows how slitting, cutting, and levelling are becoming faster, sharper, and more digital.
• TOMRA leads the conversation on AI-powered sorting and how circularity is becoming smarter, not just greener.
• Granco Clark, ACT, GAP Engineering, DISA, Meadow, ANYbotics and more bring their unique perspectives on challenges and solutions across the aluminium value chain—from extrusion to die-casting to environmental compliance.

These are not just technical upgrades; they represent a shift in mindset—towards smarter factories, data-driven decisions, and climate-conscious production.

Why it matters

Behind every tonne of aluminium lies a complex combination of heat, pressure, precision, and timing. And it’s the machines—and the people designing them—that keep this movement in sync.

This edition is a tribute to the innovators who aren’t just building machines but reimagining possibilities—whether that’s cutting emissions in furnaces, increasing uptime in smelters, or extracting more value from scrap.

Who should read this

This edition is a must-read for aluminium manufacturers, plant managers, automation engineers, and technology providers seeking to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape. It also offers valuable insights for professionals in the automotive, construction, aerospace, and packaging sectors—where aluminium is a key material—as well as sustainability leaders seeking to understand how advanced machinery is driving decarbonization. Investors, policymakers, and researchers tracking the future of industrial innovation and green manufacturing will also find this edition highly relevant.

This 31st edition of the e-magazine "Advanced Industrial Technologies in the Aluminium Industry" is now available for read on AL Circle's website. It provides a wealth of information that can inform strategic decisions and promote industry-wide collaboration.
