Spanwall appointed by ALUCOBOND.

Belfast based architectural façade specialist Spanwall, has just been appointed as approved fabricator in Ireland for the global market leading composite brand ALUCOBOND manufactured by German company 3A Composites.

Spanwall Managing Director Keith Toner said “this partnership is strategically a perfect fit for Spanwall as we are at the leading edge of façade technology, architectural detailing and the innovative application of metals and composites.

Recent high profile projects such as Titanic Belfast, Audi showrooms and Terremark Data Centre, Amsterdam have placed us firmly on the radar of leading architects and we are getting enquiries about highly specialised and technically challenging exterior and interior applications across Europe.”

Sean Kelly of Richard Austin Alloys the UK’s main distributor of ALUCOBOND commented “we believe that Spanwall’s reputation, engineering expertise and fabrication ability places it in an ideal position to support Alucobond in the Irish marketplace. We look forward to a mutually beneficial partnership with this innovative company”.
