COIL has further strengthened its continuous anodised aluminium production capacity with today's inauguration of a new advanced line at its Bernburg site in Germany. The completion of this major investment highlights COIL's commitment to developing its industrial capabilities to support its growth and harness its markets' potential. The launch of operations on Line 6 will further strengthen the Bernburg plant's specialisation in large-scale production runs for anodised aluminium serving the construction and architecture markets. Alongside Line 5, set up in 2004, Line 6 will enable COIL, whose production capacities in Germany were previously saturated, to free up the capacity needed to meet the growing demand for thick- gauge anodised aluminium in particular. With an annual production capacity of 15,000 tonnes, Line 6 offers outstanding dimensional performance capabilities. It is 250 metres long, with continuous anodising capacity to handle aluminium coils up to 2 m wide and 3.5 mm thick for all the finishing and colour ranges available, with a maximum weight of 12 tonnes. Alongside the opening of this sixth line, a new logistics room will be set up and new equipment rolled out to increase automation levels for processing coils.
