Vimetco Extrusion to expand Aluminium profiles extrusion line with EUR 10 million investments

Vimetco Extrusion, a downstream subsidiary of ALRO, will expand its production capacity with a new EUR 10 investment project. The investment involves the acquisition and installation of an automated extrusion line, supplied by Presezzi Extrusion spa.

The new extrusion line will also generate cost-savings and increased operational efficiency. The project is financed from two sources, through commercial credit and bank credit for investments. 

“The expertise in creating high and very high value-added products is obtained only through constant investments in innovation and outstanding employee training, and Vimetco Extrusion has shown that it is not only willing to embrace these responsibilities, but it also excels in executing them very efficiently”, said Marian NĂSTASE, Chairman of the Board of Directors, ALRO. 

“This recent investment is another step in achieving the Company's long-term vision, along with the recent partnerships with companies from industries that are recognized for the high standards of materials used, precision in execution, stability and predictability in delivery of the finished products.”

The new and complete 7” extrusion line has technology to operate with reduced human intervention. The process is automated through the DMS application (“Document management system”) developed by Presezzi. The line can extrude profiles up to a length of 60 meters, with a speed of 50 m/min.

In addition to the ability to extrude profiles up to a length of 60 meters, with a speed of 50 m/min, the equipment has the lowest guaranteed gas consumption on the market, it is equipped with an efficient ESS system (“Energy-saving system”), as well as with independently operated water- and air-cooling zones, designed to efficiently allocate resources.

“Vimetco Extrusion continues to invest in technology, securing the path for a sustainable, efficient and customer-oriented business”, said Igor HIGER, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Vimetco Extrusion. 

 “Presezzi Extrusion is grateful for this new partnership and for trusting our Company’s technology and quality for this ambitious and complex project and we are willing to provide further support to Vimetco Extrusion in its next plans, as well”, said Valerio PRESEZZI, Founder and President of Presezzi Extrusion.
