Mechanical engineering company Hertwich Engineering will supply a melting and casting furnace with a capacity of 55 000 t of aluminium a year, as well as a charging machine, to Austrian aluminium product supplier AMAG. Commissioning of the new furnace is scheduled for mid-2017. The move to increase capacity is based on the assumption in the aluminium industry that worldwide consumption of rolled aluminium products will grow by 70% over the next ten years. Owing to this expected growth in demand, AMAG started an enlargement programme in 2012 with an initial cost of 220-million Euro.
