}}Constellium N.V. is a global manufacturer of aluminium rolled products, extruded products, and structural parts based on a large variety of advanced alloys. Its C-TEC research center has produced many of the world’s technological breakthroughs in advanced aluminium alloys.[2]  Constellium primarily serves the aerospace, automotive and packaging sectors. Large clients include Mercedes-Benz,[3] Audi,[4] BMW,[5] Fiat Chrysler Automotive,[6] Ford,[7] Airbus,[8] Boeing,[9] and Bombardier.[10]

History

Constellium was created when Rio Tinto sold off Alcan Engineered Products to Apollo Management (51%) and FSI (10%) in 2011.[11][12] Prior to that, Alcan Engineered Products was the result of various mergers and acquisitions between Pechiney, Alcan and Alusuisse. Constellium is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.[13] In February 2018, Constellium delisted its shares from Euronext Paris.[14]

Operations

Constellium counts close to 12,000 employees worldwide and operates 24 manufacturing sites in North America, Europe and Asia. The company is headquartered in Amsterdam with corporate offices in Baltimore, Paris, and Zurich.[15]

Innovation  

Founded in 1967, Constellium's C-TEC Technology Center is a research and development center designed to promote innovation in aluminum.[16] Located in Voreppe, France, C-TEC maintains a staff of over 200 R&D technicians and engineers.[17] During the last 50 years, C-TEC has been the birthplace of more than 600 patent families and trademarks,  including breakthrough innovations in aluminium alloy for aerospace, automotive, and packaging, including:

  • Airware®: high performance aluminium-lithium alloy tailored for aircraft and spacecraft structures that reduces weight by up to 25%, reduces fuel consumption and optimizes end-of-life recycling. Airware alloys have been adopted by Airbus, Bombardier, Dassault Aviation and spacecraft manufacturers such as SpaceX8, and Space15.[18]
  • HSA6™: A new generation of high-strength aluminium alloys for structural components in the automotive industry
  • Securalex®: high strength aluminium alloys for automotive body panels[19]
  • Aeral ™: aluminium solution for aerosols that can lighten products by 30%[20]
  • High-tech aluminium profiles for hybrid motors, produced with micrometer scale tolerances, and integrated in the stator part of the electric motor

Launched in 2013, the Advanced Light Metals Processing Research Center, a collaboration between Constellium, Brunel University and Jaguar Land Rover, was opened as an innovation center dedicated to the automotive industry. In 2016, the partnership between Constellium and Brunel was extended with the opening of the Constellium University Technology Center (UTC), a dedicated research center for the design, development and prototyping of aluminium alloys and automotive structural components.[21] In 2016, Constellium opened an additional research hub dedicated to lightweight automotive aluminium in Plymouth, Michigan.

Sustainability in aluminium industry

Aluminum recycling benefits current and future generations by saving energy and other natural resources. It takes up to 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than to produce primary aluminum, which also limits emissions, including greenhouse gases. This property of being infinitely recyclable means that today, about 75% of all aluminum produced in history, nearly a billion tons, is still in use.[22]

Constellium participates in numerous associations and initiatives aimed at improving sustainability in the aluminium industry. In 2012, the Group founded a Sustainability Council to choose sustainability targets, track performance, and ensure accurate disclosure of data in alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative, Carbon Disclosure Project, and United Nations Global Compact.[23] The company is also a founding member of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), a global, multi-stakeholder, non-profit organization for the aluminium industry.[24] ASI sets standards across the entire aluminium value chain, including in areas such as mining, greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, material stewardship, biodiversity, human rights, and responsible strategic sourcing.[25]

Aluminium recycling

Constellium is an industry leader in the recycling of aluminium beverage cans. With plants in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Neuf-Brisach, France, the company has the capacity to recycle the equivalent of 23 billion cans a year.[26]

Constellium works with the European Aluminium Association, the US Aluminum Association, and the Can Manufacturers Institute to increase beverage can recycling.[27] In particular, the company supports the European aluminium industry’s target to reach an 80% beverage can recycling rate by 2020.[26]
