Architects have brought aluminium from inside buildings to the outside to create masterpieces of modern architecture. As architects, contractors, consultants and real estate owners look to meet stringent safety requirements in the construction industry, solid aluminium provides a cladding solution that is 100% non-combustible and has an A1 European classification.

Shopping at Moncler is always an experience. But in the Moncler shops of New York, Stockholm and Mexico* shopping gets an extra dimension. After the flagship store in New York, Belgian artist Bardula was asked by Moncler to also design two shining installations for the stores in Stockholm and Mexico City.

Skateboarding was banned in Norway on 1 September 1978, because it was considered too dangerous. When the ban was lifted in 1989, interest in skateboarding exploded. It still took another 28 years for Oslo to have its own custom-designed skatepark. Today, Oslo Skatepark is a meeting place for all skaters, young and old(er), welcoming all sub-types of the sport – street, bowl and vert* – in both an indoor and outdoor arena.

The larger the vehicle, the heavier the battery and casing required to optimise the EV’s range. It is the larger EVs, i.e., sedans, SUVs, taxis, trucks and buses, that will realise the greatest benefits from a steel-to-aluminium conversion. In the U.S., a vehicle’s gross weight determines which class of commercial driver’s license (CDL) will be required. Without lightweighting, some EVs could demand a higher-class license or additional endorsements due to the added weight of the battery.

The lightweight, highly formable aluminium that  Aluminium Duffel BV supplies, is used in the production of H&T Presspart’s metered-dose inhaler canisters. Pharmaceutical companies worldwide use these canisters for the production of inhalers for asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients.

Automotive manufacturers are faced with increasingly stringent emissions standards, and one of their greatest challenges is how to effectively track and measure life-cycle carbon footprint reductions, and leverage that data as a marketing advantage.

Aluminium is since long the material of choice for aerospace, European automotive design and other industries due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, light weight and corrosion resistance.
