ThyssenKrupp Plastic Ibérica (formerly PLEXI) will be taking over the representation of ALUCOBOND^® and ALUCORE® in Spain on 1st October, 2009. The aluminium composite panels that are produced at Alcan Composites in Singen, are regarded as the synonym for composite panels in façade cladding. Since the seventies, several million square metres have been successfully applied in countless projects in Spain, e.g. at the Parque Tecnologico in Huesca, the Hospital de Leon or the Universidad Ramon Llull in Barcelona.

Fernando Montero Pinar, Manager of ThyssenKrupp Plastic Ibérica (TKPI) "We are pleased that we include ALUCOBOND^® in our range of products in the materials sector for the building industry. This will enable us to continue extending these activities even further and to offer our customers an even wider range of qualitatively high-grade materials and services."

Sabine Amrein-Herche, Director Marketing & Sales Alcan Composites Architecture Europe: "We are convinced that we have found the ideal partner in TKPI for being able to position our composite materials "Made in Germany" on the Spanish market for architecture again as a market leader. With a country-wide distribution network of 11 branch establishments, experienced sales personnel in the building sector and a professional logistics service, Plexi is in an optimum position to continue promoting and developing the ALUCOBOND^® brand. New surfaces and innovation in the field of integrated façade systems will contribute towards reaching our common, ambitious targets."

ALUCOBOND^®:
ALUCOBOND^® is the world market leader for aluminium composite panels. Since their introduction on the market in 1969, these panels have been used above all in architecture and for corporate identity programmes, particularly for façades, wall cladding and roof-edging. The panels are outstanding due to their extreme evenness and rigidity, their low weight, excellent formability, weather resistance and simple further processing possibilities and are available in a large variety of colours and in the most differing designs. ALUCOBOND^® panels are also available in large sheet sizes and with a highly flame-resistant or non-combustible core. During the last 40 years, over 130,000,000 m2 of panelling have been applied in architectural projects on all the continents. The brand ALUCOBOND^® is produced at the Alcan Composites factories in Singen, Germany, Benton in USA, Shanghai in the People's Republic of China and in Khopoli, India.
