The main project objective is to purchase the second production line of aluminum composite panels (ACP) of "Alukom" with the thickness of 3 mm. It will help to improve the quality of manufactured products and increase the sales volume. Thus, as a result of the project implementation "Alukom" will:

• keep the market share it has among producers of ACP;
• create additional 55 jobs, including at least 30 for former employees of MCK.

The aim of the project was to establish the production of, and to market, fire-resistant aluminium composite fa?ade panels on Alukom's Zheleznogorsk production site.

As a consequence of the company's mid-term sales and production plans, the company managed to purchase and launch a new production line for aluminium composite fa?ade panels, which is being used for the production of fire-resistant panels (Russian flammability category G1). Composite panels are composed of seven layers of different materials on two sides of a high-pressure polyethylene base (2-3 mm), an aluminium sheet (0,2 to 0,5 mm), an adhesive coating made of high-pressure polyethylene, a grounding layer, another aluminium sheet (0,2 to 0,5 mm), a working coating made of polyester on one side, a surface coating of polyvinyl fluoride (PVDF) and a protection film (to be peeled off after the fa?ade is installed).

A final audit of the project proved that the Beneficiary's obligations for job creation were overfulfilled (73 jobs /29 for ex-nuclear workers created vs 55 /30 planned initially).

The project is considered to have been completed successfully.
