European Aluminum Award for Innovation with CompCote(R) finish

Our licensee Coatinc Anox B.V. together with ITHO, Daalderop, The Netherlands, developed a shower water heat recovery system, which recovers about 50% of the energy. A special type of our CompCote(R) finish makes the system corrosion resistant and safe by preventing the migration of Aluminum ions in the water and is the only anodized finish which has been certified in such an application by KIWA - ATA. For this innovative development the partners got the 2010 European Aluminum Award in the Category Consumer Products - Innovation. Congratulations!
