History
Founded in 1960, Almeco has expanded through strategic acquisitions and innovations, enhancing its presence in renewable energy and decorative sectors. Key milestones include the establishment of Almeco USA and the joint venture Almeco-TiNOX GmbH.

Process
Almeco employs various aluminium processing technologies, including pre-anodising, PVD coating, and laser cutting, to produce components for diverse applications.

Advanced Aluminium Processing
Almeco specializes in enhancing aluminium's reflectance and gloss while protecting it from corrosion through continuous anodising, which includes polishing, anodising, colouring, and sealing. The brightening process involves electrochemical treatment to increase brightness and reflectance.

Continuous Anodising
This process creates a durable, transparent anodic oxide layer on aluminium, receptive to colouring with organic pigments, concluding with sealing in demineralised water to compact the layer.

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD)
PVD technology is used to deposit thin metallic and ceramic films on aluminium, enhancing reflectance to over 98% and providing properties like anti-scratch and corrosion resistance, crucial for lighting and solar applications.

Manufacturing of Laminates
Almeco produces aluminium strips with various widths and lengths, using embossing systems to alter light distribution and aesthetics. Automated packaging ensures efficient handling of final products.

Mechanical Manufacturing
In the San Giuliano Milanese plant, mechanical processes create reflectors using technologies like laser cutting and deep-drawing, with galvanic processes for durability.

Lighting Applications
High reflectance aluminium, particularly the 'vega' range, is used in various lighting applications, offering significant energy savings and increased efficiency in lighting fixtures.

Solar Energy Solutions
Almeco develops materials for renewable energy, focusing on solar thermal and concentration technologies. Products like TinoX energy and vegaprime offer high reflectance for solar collectors and panels.

Decorative Applications
The bandoxaldecor line, a polished and anodised aluminium, is used in architecture and design for its durability and aesthetic versatility.

Customization and Inventory Management
Almeco provides maximum customization of services, ensuring each product is carefully packaged and managed according to advanced supply chain criteria, allowing clients to have ready-to-use material stock.

Product Offerings
The bandoxaldecor line offers 21 finishes, 60 colors, and 8 thicknesses, catering to specific needs with options like temperature-resistant adhesives and special treatments for outdoor durability.

Flexibility and Service
The bandoxaldecor+ collection offers a unique service formula for those needing limited quantities quickly, ideal for industrial designers and those creating expositions or sales points.

Unique Solutions
Almeco emphasizes the ability to create tailored solutions for designers and businesses, ensuring a personalized approach from planning to the finished product.

Inspirational Quote
The document concludes with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams," underscoring the innovative and customer-focused ethos of the company.
