Only high purity aluminium ingot imported from primary producers, is used in the production of Alucon’s slugs. The slug production process involves the use of aluminium melting furnaces, holding furnaces, automatic continuous strip casting machines, hot and cold rolling mills, automatic slug punching presses, annealing ovens, slug vibrators and inspection lines. The annual capacity of 48,000 tons of slugs, is produced in more than 200 standard sizes. About 30% of the aluminium slugs produced are used by the Company’s factories and the other 70% of our slug production is mostly exported. The operations of ALUCON are fully integrated as the Company operates two aluminium casting lines which produce the intermediate material required for the production of aluminium impact extruded containers. Alucon also manufacture their own plastic caps, for use with their aluminium tubes and all tooling for their extruded containers as well as most spare parts.
