Aluminum is one of the most popular metals that is widely used across various industries. Speaking of one such manufacturer who has been on the forefront of the industry is Banco Aluminium whose experience in the industry dates back to the 1960s. Banco Aluminium is a strong and dynamic company that has emerged as OEMs' preferred supplier. Banco Aluminium marked its 55th anniversary last year, with a commitment on continuous innovation and creating value for its customers.
In the last year, the company has installed two new presses, allowing it to boost its supply to a wider range of businesses and hastened its drive toward a more marked globalization of its business. Current plant has an installed capacity of 35,000 MTPA with a press of 1100, 1460, 1800, 2500 and 3300 Tons.
“We collaborate with customers' design engineers to determine the best alloys and profile designs based on end applications; our design office has generated over 16,000 profiles for diverse end applications. We can accommodate a wide range of assemblies and customized products due to our cold drawing, fabrication, and long-established supplier network for surface finishes. By constantly inventing new alloys and improving processes for improved quality assurance, the firm has become the chosen supplier to OEMs providing end-to-end solutions,” shares Mandar Kale, Head-Sales and Business Development, Banco Aluminium.
Range of Alloys
Banco Aluminium has an in-house foundry that develops and supplies high strength, machining alloys, and other special alloys, including the following two series: 2011, 2017A, 2014, 24534, 24345, 2030, 2024, 2111 LF, 2033 LF (LF - Lead Free) and six series: 6026 LF, 6262,6082,6042. (LF - Lead Free). To comply with future RoHS Directives and to meet the most demanding needs in critical applications in the automotive, electric, electrical, valves, pneumatics, and machining industries, Banco's inhouse foundry created 6026LF Leadfree. 6026LF is highly adaptable due to its medium-high mechanical properties, good qualities when anodized or moulded, easy soldiering ability, and corrosion resistance. Because of its superior chip formation, this alloy is also well suited for use on high-speed automatic lathes.
Process Improvements
Banco Aluminium supplies extrusions for structural parts to component manufacturing companies for both electric and combustion powered passenger and commercial vehicles. Over the past years, it has worked on improving its process and quality controls to cater to its passenger and commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers and the auto-ancillary manufacturers by attaining the IATF certification. To enhance dimensional control of its products, Banco Aluminium now has a state-of-the-art Ascona profile measuring system – enabling its operations team to check precise dimensions online instantaneously.
“In addition to our adding value and seeking continual innovation, the principle at the base of Banco Aluminium is to anticipate the needs of domestic and global markets, translating them into new products and services so as to consistently be in the forefront in providing best in class products and service to meet the needs of our clientele,” concludes Kush Patel, Managing Director of the company.
We have become the preferred supplier to OEMs providing end-to-end solutions, by continually developing new alloys & process improvements for better quality assurance
Banco Aluminium focuses not only on right Quality, Delivery and Pricing; but also expect suppliers to provide technical know-how being the subject experts and further also expect final plug and play products. This demand is seen both from the domestic OE and international markets - especially the US and European markets where it has established sales offices to serve the growing requirements effectively. Over the past 24 months the company has invested over 55 Cr in enhancing its extrusion lines, and is now investing 65 Cr in a new state of the art foundry to
cater to its growing needs.
