ALUMET B.V.

General

A very special bright lustre

A striking golden box is set in the midst of a small town’s industrial estate in the Netherlands. The address, Mon Plaisir, says it all: “my pleasure”. The golden façade reveals the reasons for the client’s pride and satisfaction. This is where Alumet, our production partner for the new ALUCOBOND® real anodised series, has just built state-of-the-art production facilities. The company has been anodising aluminium for 50 years and has experienced a real boom in demand in recent years. An increasing number of architects are using anodised aluminium in their designs. This is not surprising since few other materials can compete in terms of flexible forming and design, nor be so lightweight whilst offering weather, fire and scratch-resistance. In addition, designers’ wishes are becoming more distinctive, and the building industry is also changing rapidly at the moment. Industrially pre-fabricated components speed up the construction process, make it less dependent on weather conditions, less prone to errors and simplify cost calculation. In order to meet high demand, Alumet has had to change its processes and implement fully automated manufacturing to achieve faster production, more flexibility and larger quantities. At the same time, the focus on environmental protection in the construction industry and in the manufacture of building materials is becoming more and more important. In future, energy used for production and for the building should combine, resulting in a synergistic effect. All in all, the new production hall is fit for the future in terms of fulfilling environmental standards, increased production, as well as design. “The new facilities will enable us to produce more shades of grey and brown as well as a special bright gloss: bright anodising,” says Alumet owner, Remco Baartmans. You can see the result by just looking at the building, clad in building-length premium anodised brushed titanium ALUCOBOND® tray panels. The panels at the entrance and on the administrative building in front of the manufacturing building are aligned with each other in a random irregular pleated pattern so that light falling on the façade from different angles gives it a lively shimmering quality. Figuratively, this is where we raise the curtain on Alumet: ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to present a golden box in Mon Plaisir and the very special lustre of bright anodising.
