HISTORY
Learn more about the steps we have taken to become one of the European benchmarks in the aluminum industry.
THE BEGINNING OF THE ROAD
The ALUEUROPA Company was created due to the closure of Inespal Extrusion in Alicante. A company of our Group, manufacturer of sprinkler irrigation systems, was an important customer of theirs, and it was the only factory where they could manufacture aluminum tubes up to 14 meters long. In view of the damage it could cause us, they offered us to acquire a 1600 ton press with its corresponding long aging furnace.
START OF EXPORTS
The results of our journey are positive, starting to export in 1998, acquiring a second press of 2200 tons. In 2002 we acquired a third press of 1800 tons.
FINANCIAL CONSOLIDATION
During the crisis from 2008 to 2014, the financial situation is consolidated, no major investments were made, greatly improving internal operations with the incorporation of more professionalized human teams.
SECOND EXPANSION
We continued our expansion with the acquisition in 2015 of the company SIPROAL in Logroño, which had two extrusion presses of 1800 and 2000 tons. To continue in 2017 with the acquisition of the company ISOPERFIL in Segovia, which also had two extrusion presses of 1800 and 2200 tons. And finally, in 2018, the production unit of the company EXTRUPERFIL in Seville, which had 2 extrusion presses of 1800 and 2500 tons, was acquired.
CURRENT NEWS
At the beginning of 2020, an anodizing plant was acquired, which allows us to offer a wide range of finishes with mechanical surface treatments. Later, at the end of 2020, a new 4,000 ton press was acquired, adding up to a total of 10 extrusion presses, which, together with the turnover of the rest of the group's subsidiaries, adds up to an annual turnover of 180 million euros, representing 70% of the total turnover of the Chamartin Group, of which we form part.
