“The start-up of the new finishing lines represents a major achievement for our Singen team and a significant step forward in expanding our production capabilities,” said Matthew Perkins, Business Unit President, Packaging & Automotive Rolled Products. “This investment highlights our ongoing commitment to operational excellence, innovation, and meeting the evolving needs of our customers across the aluminum industry.”
The new facility features state-of-the-art edge trimming and packing lines, supported by dedicated logistics and buffer areas that optimize production flow and material handling. The line processes dimensions up to 2,000 mm widths and 1.3 mm thicknesses. It can handle aluminum coils for different market segments with high productivity.
The installation of a solar power system is expected to generate approximately 760,000 kWh of renewable energy each year, reducing the site’s carbon footprint. The building is also equipped with a fire protection wall separating it from existing facilities and a sprinkler system covering both production and truck loading areas, reflecting Constellium’s strong focus on safety.
“This new capacity reinforces Constellium’s strategic role in supporting the transition to e-mobility and sustainable energy applications,” stated Bernd Honsel, Plant Director Constellium Rolled Products Singen. “This investment strengthens Singen’s position as a center of excellence for high-performance aluminum products,” he continued.
