Sapa Extrusion Drunen
Description
What is and does Sapa Extrusion Benelux do?
Sapa's objective is to supply aluminium components that make products better and easy(er) to assemble. This is achieved by making optimal use of the favourable properties of aluminium. For example, it is possible to use less material and construct lighter products by making optimal use of the formability of aluminium.
Another favourable property of aluminium is that it is infinitely recyclable, without loss of properties. Sapa is active in recycling aluminium scrap and using it as a raw material for new aluminium products. Sapa has a recycling facility in Drunen.
Mr Rik Mertens, Marketeer Sapa Extrusion Benelux, will give a presentation on the above and on the activities of Sapa Benelux.
