Statement
The AMAP Cluster allows us to cooperate with further companies and departments of the RWTH Aachen University in mutual research projects, concerning the complete process chain of aluminum. Based on the central idea of Open Innovation, the interdisciplinary partners research together to create more innovation impulses, multiply their innovation resources and share their stakes in comparison to a conventional, bilateral cooperation.
Through the intensive cooperation, the team members at the AMAP Cluster handle research tasks efficiently and the results are implemented in accordance with actual practice. At the same time, the close cooperation with the RWTH Aachen University provides access to excellent research facilities and worldwide leading expertise in the metallurgy of non-ferrous metals.

It is the goal to secure the long-term company success and aim for the best customer satisfaction. A sustainable protection of the environment can be achieved by designing the production of aluminum more energy efficient.
