EPALME SA INCREASE ITS PRODUCTION USING HUGE ARCH BUILDINGS

RECYCLING STORAGE FACILITIES

EPALME S.A. has been in the aluminum business since 1970. At that period of time, the Company used to produce aluminum billets as well as alloy ingots. In the years that followed, the Company was always trying to adjust its production and capabilities to the prevailing Greek market conditions by exploiting its highly experienced and trained staff.

In 1996, there was a significant change in the ownership of EPALME, since ALUMAN S.A. became one of the major shareholders. In the year 1999, the Company transferred its premises to a newly bought area at Inofyta Viotias, 50 kms north of Athens - besides ALUMAN's premises. The new factory is currently producing aluminum billets with a "state of the art" casting technology using pure aluminum ingots and recyclable aluminum scrap.
