Easily malleable, aluminium finds its place amongst a multitude of products and uses that leverage its unrivalled characteristics of durability and lightness. The service offering in Québec in terms of aluminium transformation answers manufacturing enterprises’ needs, facilitating the integration of aluminium in their products or their processes.
The ultimate symbol of a green material - aluminium recycles infinitely – it is the designated choice for contractors who are conscious of the environment and of sustainable development. Its lightness allied with its robustness improve the energetic efficiency of the rolling material, meanwhile its longevity decreases the total cost of ownership of the infrastructures that integrate aluminium.
