Energy-efficient solutions for Arconic plant
Arconic, a leading manufacturer of prepainted aluminium for the construction industry, decided to invest into environmentally friendly technologies to reduce energy consumption of its Merxheim plant in France. The modernization project included the replacement of two old curing ovens and cooling sections to upgrade the existing coil coating line. Arconic has benefited of grant funding from the ADEME, the French Agency for Ecological Transition, as part of the “France Relance” industrial decarbonization plan.
“We had the ambitious goal of finding a sustainable solution that would allow the plant to reduce its emissions and energy consumption. Our target was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 67% as part of the project. Thanks to Fives' expertise and advanced technology, the results exceeded our expectations,” says Antoine Higelé, Project Manager & Lead of Energy Management at Arconic Architectural Products SAS.
