Sapa research and technology professionals are busy with the constant development and improvement of the Aluminum production cycle. Starting from the "heart" of an extrusion plant, we find the presses, whose continuous improvement is the outcome of the technological competencies accumulated by Sapa in its facilities located world-wide.
