EAA at the ALUMINIUM 2012 Fair | |||
| This year again, EAA was one of the main partners of the Aluminium World Trade Fair that took place from 9 to 11 October for the first time in Düsseldorf instead of Essen, Germany, for the previous editions. With 961 exhibitors from 51 countries and 21,300 visitors, the aluminium world fair hit attendance record. EAA had a stand at the fair and hosted EAFA, the European Aluminium Foil Association, welcoming visitors, members and journalists; and presenting its most recent publications and studies. |  | |
| Presenting the latest market data to the press, EAA Secretary General Patrick de Schrynmakers underlined the necessity to re-boost the aluminium industry in Europe. The primary industry is experiencing severe difficulties with a reduction of more than 1 M t in European production since 2008. In regard to the semi fabrication level, the demand for rolled products is on the rise, driven by automotive and packaging applications. Besides, the use of extruded products in Europe is on a slightly increasing trend even though the building sector, the most important end-use segment, has not recovered from the crisis and the declining solar panel business.

| EAA was also the “European Partner “ of the Innovation Award that showcased the creativity, material expertise and dynamism of the aluminium industry and its customers, and rewarded the most innovative aluminium projects. EAA Chairman Tadeu Nardocci stressed the importance for Europe to offer world class innovations and solutions. “It is a key priority of the Association’s advocacy programme to ensure that European policy and regulatory conditions remain favourable to the continuation and growth of our industry in the region, providing both aluminium products and material expertise close at hand to our European customers”, he said. Aluminium is a permanent material that is part of the solution to achieving sustainability goals and innovations with aluminium are, and will continue to be, the very backbone of sustainable infrastructures and applications. Granting the awards for the industrial products category, Patrick de Schrynmakers congratulated the winners for their high quality and tangible added-value in daily applications. |  | ||
