From October 1 to 3, 2025, Thessaloniki hosted the ESTAL Congress, the leading international event on aluminium surface treatment, organized by the European association ESTAL.  

The congress brought together scientists, professionals, and key industry leaders from across Europe, covering themes such as sustainability, CO2 emission reduction, innovative finishing and coloring technologies, nanoparticle-enhanced anodic oxide coatings, and artificial intelligence applied to painting lines. 

ALUMIL participated in the congress by hosting the Technical Visit part of the program. Attendees had the opportunity to visit the our facilities in Kilkis and gain insights into the scrap sorting process and the operation of our foundry – an experience highlighting industrial innovation, recycled aluminium and commitment to sustainability. 

Our participation reaffirms ALUMIL’s dedication to progress and its active contribution to the advancement of the European aluminium surface treatment industry.
