3A Composites, a Swiss MNC, is at the forefront of the global aluminium composite material market producing high-quality, cutting-edge aluminium composite sheets (ACS) under the brand name ALUCOBOND. The company's state-of-the-art facility near Pune in Maharashtra boasts a high-speed, automated, and intelligent production line which is not only Indian market also in globally exporter.
According to Ranjeet Sharma, President & CEO at 3A Composites India, "Our infrastructure, quality control, environment, health and safety standards surpass some of the best in the world." The company is certified for ISO 9001:2015 - Quality Management System, ISO 14001:2015 - Environment Management System, and OHSAS 18001:2007 – Health & Safety Management System, and holds international certifications such as Class 1A Product Certification from TUV Singapore.
3A Composites' high-quality products, manufactured in their Indian plant, are exported globally and are considered a benchmark for quality. The company was the first to introduce PVDF-coated ACP panels in the Indian market. Some of their flagship products include ALUCOBOND, the "Original" market leader in aluminium composite panels worldwide since 1969, ALUCOBOND PLUS - a fire retardant variant developed exclusively for higher fire regulations, and the non-combustible ALUCOBOND A2 with 90 percent mineral-filled core, developed to meet stringent fire regulations. All of these products are lightweight, rigid, and highly formable, making them the most preferred brands globally.
In addition to the ALUCOBOND line, 3A Composites also offers the aluminium honeycomb panel, ALUCORE, which has an aluminium honeycomb core embedded between two aluminium skins and boasts an unmatched strengthto- weight ratio. This panel is ideal for projects with high demands on
material stiffness, such as facade cladding or roofing exposed to extremely high wind loads, or for large self-supporting and even walkable roofs. The company also introduced solid aluminium sheets - ALUCOLUX which features unparalleled quality through its superior coating process on a continuous industrial-grade PVDF/FEVE coilcoating line with a multi-bake system. This process helps maintain the colour consistency of the product and renders it non-combustible in compliance with the A1 classification.
3A Composites goes beyond to offer complete solutions to its customers, providing Value Added Services (VAS) to ensure high-quality fabrication and finesse in the final output. The company offers a range of services including made-to-measure (M2M) panels, perforation services, and Panel Optimization which is a process of computing the maximum panel utilization for a given facade elevation/ design/layout by specially designed software. M2M panels are custom-made to meet customers' specific requirements and are cut, routed, drilled, and notched at the factory level to ensure flawless fabrication and a smooth transition from flat sheet to the final product. The perforation service, offered as a design customization, is backed by the skilful workmanship and years of expertise of 3A Composites, ensuring high-quality output. The Panel Optimization service helps to reduce wastage, thus saving costs for customers.
ALUCOBOND has over 50 years of successful global history, serving Indian customers since 1995. It has been used in landmark projects around the world and in India for all possible applications such as Facade, Roofing, Soffit, Ceilings, Column cladding, 3D shapes, and many more”, adds Ranjeet Sharma.
