"ECONOLOGICAL"
Aluminium is three times lighter than other common metals and allows for weight and energy savings.
Recycled aluminium has the same properties as new metal. Aluminium is the material which best conserves its value after use. Aluminium recycling allows for the preservation of natural resources and the saving of 95% of the energy necessary to produce the primary metal. Beyond the ecological and civic responsibility aspects, aluminium recycling is an interesting economical process, even more than ten years later. When aluminium is concerned, ecology rhymes with economy – it’s logical !
​
THE IMPACT OF OUR BUSINESS : OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Concerned about preserving the environment in the course of carrying out surface treatments which necessarily rely on a number of chemical products as well as different sources of energy, Aluminium Ferri regularly verifies its environmental impact in terms of noise, waste and water and energy consumption. The company respects the European regulations, communicates openly with its partners, sets up improvement programs in order to anticipate regulatory changes, guaranteeing its customers product and service durability.
Aluminium Ferri voluntarily carries out the calculation of its carbon footprint in order to account for and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

Attentive to the evolution of its performances, Aluminium Ferri starts the revitalization of its structures and develops the « Factory of the Future » project, in partnership with the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
​
With this in mind, a first robotic polishing cell makes a successful entrance in the Givry-en- Argonne site in September 2016. Less than a year later, the needs and findings change : the overall project adjusts accordingly, and it is finally a second cell that joins the Aluminium Ferri machinery.
While providing additional production capacity through the complete integration of the 4 to 5 polishing steps, these robotic cells help improve the working conditions of operators. If the expert eye of these operators remains the key to success, the robotization of this know-how ensures the company, as well as its most demanding clients, a perfectly repetitive appearance quality.
​
At the same time, the installation of a new ERP facilitates the management and monitoring of the daily operations of the company. Efficient, contemporary and scalable, this software allows to accompany the project with consistency.
​
Aluminium Ferri thanks the European Union which, through the ERDF allowed the company to start this dynamization by co-financing the project with a 35000€ contribution.
