Development |
In 2009, ARMENAL started the batch production of aluminium foil with thickness of 7 to 9 micron. The facility plans to further master the production of thin foil, which has a strong global demand.
In 2010, the foil mill deployed a new machine for foil cutting and bifurcating and installed a new Seco/Warwick furnace. The new equipment helped to further improve the quality of ARMENAL products.
In 2011 the facility plans to deploy a new packaged transformer substation, a drying chamber with a gas power station and other state-of-the-art equipment. Furthermore, in 2011 ARMENAL will be optimizing the products’ packaging, enhancing its impenetrability.
In 2012-2013 ARMENAL will carry out a programme aimed at boosting production through purchasing new and upgrading existing equipment. |
