The Aluminum Valley is located in Canada, in the province of Quebec and more specifically in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, two hours north of Quebec City. Since 1927 Alcan, now known as Rio Tinto Alcan, has been producing aluminum through the facilities of the multinational. The main reason for the presence of these installations is based on the hydro-electric capacity in our region. With over 1 million metric tons of aluminum production, the region occupies a strategic position in the production and processing of aluminum on the national and the international scene.

The Aluminum Valley collects nearly 37% of SMEs in aluminum processing. We regroup today more than 90 companies, including multinationals and SMEs, several research centers of international stature of over 300 researchers as well as various training programs specific to the aluminium industry.

Aluminium takes a leading role when planning and executing efficient constructions, firstly due to its advantageous properties and, secondly, as a pressed and drawn product, it can be outstandingly processed and machined.  When compared with other materials and production processes, aluminium sections have specific advantages that permit superior technical and economic solutions. In September 2010, the industry presents its range of services at the ALUMINIUM in Essen.

Throughout Europe (EU 27 and EFTA), the demand in 2008 for pressed and drawn products, such as sections, tubes and bars of aluminium amounted to around 2.9 million tons, the demand in Germany last year amounted to about 700,000 tons.  The largest consumer of these products is the construction sector, including solar applications, followed by the transport sector and machine building.  Thanks to the multifarious forms and surfaces, extruded sections play an important part during the production of roofing, windows and doors, gratings, railings as well as fittings.  System solutions based on extruded profiles, in particular, have prevailed.  Windows, doors, walls, balcony and conservatory structures are supplied ready for installation.

In 2010, Essen will not only be the meeting place for the aluminium world, but also the European Capital of Culture. How art and aluminium come together can be seen at the ALUMINIUM 2010 fair from 14 to 16 September. Amongst others, the photographer from Düsseldorf Susanne Dobler presents photographs around aluminium and Bernd W. Schmidt-Pfeil, artist from Munich, presents some of his sculptures in aluminium.

For her reliefs, Heike Rose cuts patterns in aluminium slabs with a plasma cutter, which are then melted and welded by TIG arc welding. For her installations, she casts objects in silicone aluminium. Through the casting process patented by the artists, the structures of the objects are retained in the finest detail, whereby the silvery surface of the silicone aluminium achieves a virtually forward-looking, futuristic effect. Heike Rose has encapsulated and presented photo-realistically in colour in installations some of her objects cast in silicone aluminium, whilst others can be seen individually.

The sculptures of Bernd W. Schmidt-Pfeil, which to date have been exhibited exclusively without colouration, are also produced in silicone aluminium by the above-mentioned patented metal casting process. For the first time, Bernd W. Schmidt-Pfeil now presents a photo-realistically coloured sculpture, namely “The Art Observer”. more information
