The students from IES Pirineos de Jaca, visited IBERFOIL

/dans /par

On the 24th of May the students of FP of Mechanics of the IES Pirineos de Jaca, together with their teacher, visited the facilities of IBERFOIL. These facilities are located in Sabiñánigo (Huesca), and it is the only factory in Spain specialised in aluminium thin sheet rolling between 6mm and 6 microns.

The students were very interested throughout the visit and were able to see first-hand the inside of the factory, and what the reality of working in the world of aluminium is like. They were able to see IBERFOIL‘s rolling, cutting, separating, annealing and packaging processes, what their uses are and how they prepare the material to finally send it to their customers.

The IBERFOIL technicians who accompanied them during the visit informed them about the mechanics used in the factory, such as pneumatics, hydraulics and high-tech automatisms. They were also able to see the new Edelweiss Rolling Mill and the new Tension Leveller in full operation. The technicians also told them about the new IBERFOIL Integra project and informed them about the vital importance of recycling, the circular economy and IBERFOIL‘s commitment to a sustainable future.

This visit was the perfect way for the students to get in touch with the industrial reality and to be able to bet on a job that is based on aluminium’s world. In IBERFOIL, they will find a future in line with their qualities and will be able to develop their professional value.

This action brings together specialised students and the labour needs of the factory, leader in the aluminium rolling sector.

IBERFOIL, committed to quality education (SDG 4) and decent work (SDG 8).

/dans /par

Madrid, 12 May – Clemente González Soler, President of the industrial and technological group ALIBERICO, has been appointed today as President of the Spanish part of the Morocco-Spain Economic Council (CEMAES).

The appointment was made at the proposal of CEOE, made by its president, Antonio Garamendi, at the General Assembly that this organisation held today in Casablanca.

In turn, Clemente González Soler has proposed José Ignacio Pino de la Chica, Country Manager of Caixabank in Morocco, for the position of vice-president.

ALIBERICO has two aluminium production plants in Morocco. One of them in Casablanca, ALUCOIL MAROC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the group, specialises in the manufacture of aluminium composite panels and is the leader in Morocco in the segment of facades for singular buildings.

Furthermore, through this subsidiary, ALIBERICO is a partner in ALUMINIUM DU MAROC, a listed company and the largest manufacturer of extruded profiles in Morocco and on the African continent. Clemente González Soler is a member of the Board of Directors of ALUMINIUM DU MAROC and coordinates the strategy and investment area of the company.

On the Spanish side, 30 Spanish companies with interests in Morocco are represented in CEMAES, as well as other leading Moroccan companies in their respective fields of activity.

Among the Spanish companies that make up the institution are Balearia, Banco de Sabadell, Santander, Bergé, Garrigues, Cuatrecasas, Gestamp, Naturgy, Sener and Vectalia.

 The CEMAES General Assembly also appointed the Moroccan businessman Adil Rais as co-president of the institution in representation of Moroccan companies, together with Clemente González Soler, and the businessman Ayman Cheikh-Lahlou as co-vice-president.

CEMAES is a business institution created at the initiative of the Confédération Générale des Entreprises du Maroc (CGEM) and the Spanish Confederation of Business Organisations (CEOE), which brings together businessmen and economic organisations from Morocco and Spain.  Its objectives include promoting collaboration and business integration between the two countries, with a special focus on SMEs.

CEMAES was created in 2013 as a result of the collaboration agreement signed by both organisations in Rabat in the presence of Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain and Morocco and government representatives from both countries.

ALIBERICO acquires 100% of the Aragonese company IDALSA, Spain’s second largest aluminium casting and recycling manufacturer

/dans /par

As part of its comprehensive Sustainability Plan, ALIBERICO has closed the purchase of 100% of the Aragonese company Ibérica de Aleaciones Ligeras (IDALSA), Spain’s second largest manufacturer of aluminium smelting and recycling, which is the first of its acquisitions in the liquid aluminium sector, with the aim of committing to the circular economy and a green and sustainable industry.

IDALSA has a 300,000 square meter plant in the town of Remolinos, near Zaragoza (Spain), and recycles 60,000 tons of liquid aluminium from scrap metal per year.  The company currently produces 45,000 tons per year of aluminium ingots in different formats and compositions, mainly for the automotive industry. The company has a workforce of 49 workers and in 2021 had a turnover of 75 million euros, of which 70% comes from its exports to countries in Europe, America and Asia.

This investment is part of the ALIBERICO Group’s Sustainability Plan, which focuses on boosting the Circular Economy and drastically reducing CO2 emissions, and certifies the Group’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In early 2022, ALIBERICO started up its first self-consumption photovoltaic installation at its Alicante factory, RedBOND Composites, with the aim of obtaining environmental benefits equivalent to avoiding the emission of 200 tons/year of CO2 into the atmosphere and the planting of 400 trees. ALIBERICO is also currently implementing the IBERFOIL INTEGRA project in Sabiñánigo (Huesca, Spain), which involves the construction of a new factory in an area adjacent to the current IBERFOIL lamination plant. The new plant will be entirely dedicated to scrap recovery, smelting and coil manufacturing, and is set to become a benchmark for the Circular Economy in Spain.

With the incorporation of IDALSA, ALIBERICO now has 21 factories in the world, of which 17 are in Spain, in 9 Autonomous Communities, and another four abroad, exporting 70% of its production and selling its products in more than 90 countries in the 5 continents. ALIBERICO operates with technologically advanced aluminium products and Premium brands recognized as world leaders in the packaging, building, surface treatment, transportation, industry and renewable energy sectors.

Pour les amateurs de café, l’une des choses les plus agréables est de pouvoir déguster un délicieux café dès le matin, de le savourer après un repas entre amis ou en famille ou pendant une réunion ou un rendez-vous important.

Il existe une grande variété de saveurs et de textures qui parcourent le monde et qui, selon chaque région, lui donnent un goût unique. Afin de conserver le café moulu dans des conditions optimales et de garantir que lorsque vous le buvez, il est « fraîchement moulu », il est nécessaire qu’il soit dans un récipient en aluminium, car c’est le matériau qui conserve le mieux les aliments et n’altère pas leur saveur.

C’est pourquoi ALUCOAT s’efforce d’offrir un produit haut de gamme et de grande qualité à l’un des segments les plus exigeants du marché. L’aluminium laqué ALUCOAT pour les capsules de café constitue une barrière de protection totale, préservant 100% de ses propriétés et maintenant sa fraîcheur jusqu’à sa consommation finale. En outre, l’utilisation d’un alliage d’aluminium spécialement conçu pour cet usage, ainsi que la large gamme de couleurs personnalisables proposées par l’entreprise, permettent à ses clients de créer des designs innovants et leur permettent de produire des capsules de café ayant leur propre personnalité, ce qui les aide à se différencier de leurs concurrents.

De plus, les capsules en aluminium sont recyclables à l’infini et à 100 %, ce qui contribue à réduire l’empreinte carbone, les émissions mondiales et à favoriser l’économie circulaire (ODD 13), ce qui en fait l’emballage parfait pour protéger un produit exclusif et se soucier de l’environnement et d’un avenir durable.
