Targeted at automotive heat exchanger manufacturers seeking simplified, more efficient tube production. Production in Gränges Shanghai plant via strategic alliance with Schöler GmbH.
• Battery cathode foil Rolled aluminium cathode foil for battery cells used in electric vehicles and energy storage. Produced with localised, low-carbon aluminium supply (including through the Shandong Innovation Group joint venture for Shanghai operations) to support customers' supply security and decarbonisation.
• Battery cell casing Aluminium battery cell casings for EV and energy storage applications, providing structural and protective enclosure for battery cells. Collaboration with Shandong Innovation Group (May 2024) extends the product line into battery housing production in China.
• Battery cooling plates Aluminium cooling plate solutions for thermal management of EV battery packs, enabling efficient heat removal and supporting battery performance and longevity.
• DISPAL Family of high-performance aluminium alloys from powder metallurgy, used for wear-resistance, tribology, and additive manufacturing applications. Includes S220 AM (first alloy for additive manufacturing with low coefficient of thermal expansion) and S260 AM (for wear resistance applications). Distributed in Europe via Delva Oy partnership.
• Aluminium powders Aluminium powders produced through atomization for additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy applications, with production at St Avold (atomization) and Velbert (powder production) under the Gränges Powder Metallurgy business unit.
• HVAC aluminium products Rolled aluminium products supplied to HVAC and refrigeration equipment manufacturers, including aluminium foil products supplied to Carrier under a strategic long-term agreement through the Carrier Alliance Program. Daikin recognised Gränges Americas with an Excellence in Sustainability award in November 2024.
• Specialty packaging aluminium Aluminium foil for converter foil and flexible packaging applications, including food, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging. Produced at the Newport, Arkansas facility, which operates on renewable electricity through the Entergy Arkansas partnership.
• Industrial applications aluminium Rolled aluminium products for industrial applications, serving manufacturers requiring aluminium materials for industrial use cases (including historical supply of aircraft metal sheet to SAAB since 1936).
