GDA ALUMINIUM PROFILE AWARD 2020
AWARD FOR INNOVATIVE PROFILE SOLUTIONS
Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustrie e.V. is organising the 'GDA ALUMINIUM PROFIL AWARD' for the first time at ALUMINIUM 2020. This award is intended to recognise the innovative strength of developers, designers and companies in the aluminium industry.
About the competition
Sheet metal, profiles and cast parts are as much the preferred products in the automotive and commercial vehicle sectors as they are in aerospace, rail vehicles, mechanical engineering, the construction industry, packaging, power engineering and many other industrial applications. There is increasing demand from the various markets for the use of high-quality, innovative aluminium profiles, especially those produced by extrusion. The extrusion companies have responded to the more stringent requirements and have increased their competitiveness considerably in recent years by modernising and R&D investments.
Conditions of entry and deadlines
Extrusion companies, customer industries, institutes and friendly associations are invited to participate. A submission can be made by the customer/user or by the manufacturer or both together. Submissions must include meaningful documentation, such as a description of the idea (approx. 1-2 DIN A4 pages) and an explanation of the innovation (approx. one DIN A4 page) as well as a profile section approx. 1000mm long
The “GDA ALUMINIUM PROFILE AWARD” will be awarded for the following categories:
