Bright products
Aludium’s bright product portfolio can make your decorative applications stand-out from the competition. We are a leading supplier of bright products for decorative, automotive and architectural applications. Aludium’s bright products and products for surface anodising are manufactured to exacting standards at our mills in Alicante (Spain) and Castelsarrasin (France). Both plants lead the European market for speciality products and are experiencing rapid growth in sectors including lighting, perfumes & cosmetics, automotive trim and decorative applications. The popularity of Aludium’s bright products is largely due to their outstanding response to bright and anodised surface treatments. Their metallurgical structure makes it possible for customers to undertake the complex drawing and forming processes required to achieve their most demanding applications. The high quality of our bright products is achieved by applying Aludium’s sophisticated manufacturing technology to high purity alloys.

All our surface finishes – from Mill Finish to Grand Brillant – are appreciated for their uniform appearance. Brillo, Fini Brillant and Grand Brillant surfaces reach specular gloss values from 70% up to 85%. All respond excellently to further surface treatments such as brightening, anodizing or lacquering.
• ISO 9001 – Quality Standard • ISO 14001 – Environmental Standard Our products comply with FDA and European directives regarding the use of aluminium in food contact, cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
Formability In addition to surface finish and reflectivity, many applications such as cosmetic packaging and reflectors demand material with optimised mechanical properties. Aludium provides aluminium alloys with the metallurgical structure and mechanical properties required to meet the demands of forming processes including drawing, deep drawing and spinning.
