Since 2002, we have been processing the process scrap generated during profile production – press residues, off-cuts and customer waste – at our in-house recycling centre in accordance with specific material requirements. This on-site recycling reduces transport distances and saves time.

In the Swiss construction industry, the recycling rate for aluminium stands at over 90%. Recycling itself saves around 95% of the energy required for primary production.

A structured approach is crucial for ensuring quality, efficiency and sustainability. Our employees ensure that new moulds are manufactured flawlessly and meet a wide range of requirements.

The raw material for our profiles is cast aluminium extrusion billets. The conditions under which these are produced have a direct influence on the carbon footprint. If, for example, the electricity required for the electrolysis process is generated by coal-fired power stations, as is the case in China, for instance, the production of 1 kg of aluminium generates around 20 kg of greenhouse gas emissions*.
