Thermal and architectural building solutions company Bondor has secured the Australian distribution rights for the Larson by Alucoil range of aluminium composite panel (ACP) products.
The announcement coincides with the opening of Alucoil’s first Australian manufacturing plant in Melbourne.
A Spanish multinational, Alucoil specialises in the transformation and manufacture of high-tech, decorative aluminium materials for building, transport and industrial use.
Bondor will handle distribution and installation of Larson by Alucoil, a composite panel produced by two metal sheets in aluminium, stainless steel, copper or brass.
Bondor general manager Geoff Marsdon says it made sense for Bondor to build an alliance with Alucoil considering the Australian company's track record in the manufacture of insulated panels, its six manufacturing locations around Australia, dedicated research and development teams, state-based sales teams, a national specification team, a company focus on the needs of architects and specifiers, and construction crews in each state.
“Bondor and Alucoil first connected about three years ago when we were looking for a copper finish product for a particular project,”
he says.
“At the time Alucoil was considering a plant in the Asia Pacific region and decided on Australia over other countries.
“This type of product is not specified on buildings without going through rigorous quality tests.”
A number of projects are already underway including the recladding of the King William Street building in Adelaide (pictured).
