ALUCOBOND®, the flagship brand of Swiss major 3A Composites, a global innovator and leading manufacturer of high-quality aluminium composite materials, has announced a strategic expansion of its next-generation composite material ALUCORE® in the Indian market, reinforcing its commitment to advanced, sustainable architectural solutions.
Building on a legacy of over three decades, ALUCORE® has been further enhanced with cutting-edge technology and is now available in two advanced variants: ALUCORE® Honeycomb Panels and ALUCORE® ACCP (Aluminium Corrugated Core Panels). ALUCORE® Honeycomb features an aluminium honeycomb core sandwiched between two aluminium cover sheets, delivering exceptional strength, stability, and lightweight performance. ALUCORE® ACCP, on the other hand, incorporates an aluminium corrugated core between two aluminium skins, offering superior rigidity and versatility for complex architectural applications.
Designed to meet the evolving needs of Indian architects and developers, both variants enable high-end, contemporary designs while ensuring durability, safety, and long-term performance. The expanded ALUCORE® portfolio strengthens ALUCOBOND®’s premium range of technologically advanced cladding solutions for applications across high-end residential and commercial buildings, airports, mass transit systems, stadiums, malls, and multiplexes.
In India, ALUCORE® has already been deployed in landmark infrastructure and construction projects such as Visakhapatnam Airport, Patna Airport, Lulu Mall in Lucknow, and Max Towers in Noida. With its high mechanical properties, ALUCORE® is ideal for façade cladding, roofing applications, and even walkable roofs for maintenance purposes.
Aligned with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, ALUCORE® is manufactured at 3A Composites India Private Limited’s state-of-the-art facility in Ranjangaon near Pune, Maharashtra. From India, the product is not only widely deployed domestically but also exported to key global markets across the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions.
Commenting on the product’s legacy and impact, Ranjeet Sharma, President and CEO, 3A Composites India Private Limited, said, “With ALUCORE®, we are empowering architects to push the boundaries of design while prioritizing performance, durability, and fire safety. Our commitment to innovation and quality has positioned us as a trusted partner in metal cladding solutions, and we are confident that ALUCORE® will continue to set new benchmarks in Indian architecture.”
Highlighting the sustainability aspect, Amar Kirale, Associate Vice President, 3A Composites India Private Limited, added, “ALUCORE® is 100% recyclable, making it a highly sustainable façade solution. We are actively engaging with architects across India through experiential programmes and knowledge-sharing initiatives to demonstrate the product’s strength, versatility, and long-term value.”
Manufactured on an automated intelligent production line, ALUCORE® ensures perfect flatness, uniform quality, and superior finishes. Available in a wide range of ALUCOBOND® surface finishes—including solid, metallic, wood, stone, marble, anodized looks—and supported by colour customization services, ALUCORE® also meets stringent fire safety standards, making it ideal for high-rise buildings and critical infrastructure projects.
