AMAG and its commitment to environmental and sustainability issues

DOES GREEN ALUMINIUM EXIST? And, if so, what exactly is it?

First things first: aluminium has a silvery color and is only green once painted or anodized. This fact is important to bear in mind when scrutinizing claims of green aluminium. Ultimately, only on closer inspection does it become clear wether an assertion is just that, i.e. colored green, or wether the statement is comprehensively technically correct. AMAG has pursued the latter option for many years now.

SMART MAINTENANCE

Digitalization of maintenance and repair services

HOT FORM QUENCHING (HFQ®) - Hot curves, easy forming

Compared with steel materials, aluminium alloys offer significant weight advantages combined with comparatively high strength - but the process window for their forming properties is still limited compared with deep-drawing steels. Hot forming can be used to overcome these deficiencies.

OVER HILL AND DALE

Aluminium poles for a unique combination of high strength and low weight.

RESEARCH FOR SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION - From AMAG, for the world

How can a comparably small company like AMAG hold its own against these seemingly superior powers on every continent? Simple: by following the credo of “quality, not quantity”.

RECYCLING AS A CORE COMPETENCY - Over 40 years’ experience

In theory, aluminium can be recycled an infinite number of times -without any loss of quality. Another argument in favor of effective recycling is that producing recycling aluminium only requires 5–10% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminium production. Recycling aluminium is therefore rewarding and necessary, not only for environmental reasons but also from an economic perspective.
