From 25^th to 27^th June, ALUCOBOND^® celebrated its 40th Anniversary by holding a large-scale customer event, and in this way thanked its customers and partners for their many years of loyalty and solidarity.

Besides a specialists' conference, Alcan Composites offered an entertaining supporting programme in the Black Forest and on Lake Constance, which inspired 129 participants from 32 countries.

This evening we are able to look back on approximately 2,000 years' experience", so Guntram Eydner, responsible for Marketing and Product Management, as he opened the event with these words and cordially welcomed his guests. He calculated that the partners and customers attending the event had sold an impressive amount of approximately 80,000,000 m² of ALUCOBOND^® during the past 40 years. A fantastic result and every reason to celebrate! "For 40 years ALUCOBOND^® has had a decisive influence on the architectural world; we should like to thank all our customers and partners for their loyalty to ALUCOBOND^® and at the same time, lay the foundation for a strong future together."

With a successful mix of interesting topics, the organizers succeeded in filling the conference hall - right down to the last seat. And in addition to numerous internal contributions concerning the business development, new products and sustainability, external speakers were also invited who held talks on branding, colour trends and architectural projects. During the general programme that followed, the new ALUCOBOND^® chronicle: "From a Pioneer to the Synonym", 164 pages long, was introduced for the first time and given to the guests to take home with them as a souvenir. During the Anniversary year, the chronicle is being offered to customers and partners world-wide.
