aluNID® renews international MED IMO “Wheel Mark” certification

aluNID® has renewed its international MED IMO certification, the well-known “Wheel Mark” label, which certifies compliance with the most demanding standards of quality, safety and non-combustibility required for installation on vessels operating under European Union regulations.

The Marine Equipment Directive (MED) certification, regulated in accordance with the standards of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), reaffirms the technical excellence of our aluminium honeycomb core and strengthens its position as a lightweight, rigid and safe material for marine and high-performance applications.

Thanks to its lightweight and highly resistant structure, it helps to:

• Reduce weight in marine applications and therefore lower energy consumption.
• Enable lower emissions, supporting the transition towards more efficient vessels.
• Promote the circular economy, as it is 100% recyclable.

With this renewal, aluNID® reinforces its commitment to technological innovation and sustainability, offering solutions that not only meet the most demanding international regulations, but also deliver added value in terms of energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

aluNID® continues navigating towards excellence.

ALUCOAT promotes environmental transparency with the calculation of its Product Carbon Footprint

ALUCOAT collabore une année de plus avec la Confrérie de Nuestra Señora de Linarejos

Du 7 au 15 juin, les Fêtes en l’honneur de la Vierge de Linarejos Couronnée, Patronne de la ville, ont eu lieu à Linares (Jaén). Il s’agit d’un rendez-vous très attendu par les habitants et profondément enraciné dans la tradition locale.

Parmi les activités traditionnelles, on distingue la célèbre Tombola de Poupées, organisée par la Confrérie de “Nuestra Señora de Linarejos”, qui marque le début des festivités. Cette initiative solidaire vise à collecter des fonds pour l’entretien du Sanctuaire et à soutenir les personnes en situation de vulnérabilité dans la ville.

Pour la troisième année consécutive, ALUCOAT a souhaité s’associer à cette cause en faisant don de rouleaux d’aluminium, remis pendant les jours de célébration et utilisés pour l’organisation de la tombola.

Par cette action, ALUCOAT réaffirme son engagement envers la communauté et sa volonté de collaborer activement avec les structures locales qui promeuvent des valeurs de solidarité.
