and AkzoNobel (Sweden). To this end, a new coil coating facility has just been started up in Minsk with technical support from BASF. It is primarily designed to coat aluminium for the production of roller shutter slats and boses, but there are also plans to coat steel coils for other applications in the future.
New products for demanding applications “At the moment, the most complex and promising products are aluminium profile systems for facades, windows, doors and office partitions. Our range of solutions based on aluminium profile systems can bring to life practically any project.” marketing director Mr Rybakov explains. “Our systems are in demand for a range of high-rise buildings. A construction mounted on a building 100–150 m high is extremely complex and requires a high level of calcula-
tions in thermal physics, wind- and fireresistance and seismic stability. We are proud that the share of complex façade and interior systems today makes up 80 per cent of the whole extruded profile production.” ALUTECH complies with market trends and energy saving: in 2010 a window frame system with better heat engineering ALT W72 was introduced, in 2011 came a new energy effective filling in the façade system ALT F50 and new options were offered for “Aquaparks”, and in 2012 an actuator access for smoke removal with a gear over 1.0 (m2°C)/Vt) was brought to market. This year sees the launch of the new structured glazing ALT F50 SG with double-chamber glass units and an integrated window of the “hidden flap” type with better heat engineering features of ALT EF65. “The level of technological processes realised at our enterprises dictates also the choice of suppliers.” Mr Mr Rybakov adds. “When
producing roller shutter systems we use raw materials from leading European companies. For the production of profile systems we use aluminium from the worldwide-known company RUSAL.”
Trade Fairs ALUTECH is a regular exhibitor at the biggest specialised exhibitions in the CIS countries such as BUILDEX (Moscow) (St-Petersburg), SibBUILD (Novosibirsk), YugBUILD (Krasnodar), MosBuild (Moscow) and others. “Last year we took part in the biggest in western Europe specialised exhibition R+T (Germany, Stuttgart), and in 2013 we will present our products at GlassBuildAmerica in Atlanta, USA. Also we plan to take part in the biggest Middle East construction exhibition Big Five which will take place in the UAE. We have also preparing for the German R+T in 2015 with a total stand area of about 1000m2.”
