Alumil India

Prepares to launch Architectural Aluminium Academy

For over 35 years, Alumil Group has been a global pioneer in designing tailored solutions and state-of-the- art aluminium products to meet diverse market needs. Alumil India, the fully-owned subsidiary of the Alumil Group, recently piloted a training programme aimed at elevating industry best practices among Indian fabricators. The initiative, titled ‘Knowledge Without Borders,’ was designed to enhance the skills of fabricators working with aluminium window and door frames, bridging the gap between European and Indian construction and installation standards.

**Knowledge Without Borders’, Alumil’s seminars focus on aluminium frame installations, energy-saving techniques and problem-solving strategies**

The training sessions were held in various cities, including Ahmedabad, Madurai, Coimbatore, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. The company conducted a series of specialized seminars in Ahmedabad, Madurai, Coimbatore, Mumbai and Hyderabad, aimed at enhancing the skills of fabricators across the country, bridging the gap between European and Indian construction and installation standards. These seminars focused on best practices for aluminium frame installation, energy-saving techniques and problem-solving strategies. The programme was led by experts from Greece: Vasileios Katselas, Senior Technical Trainer and Civil Engineer, MSc, and Georgios Rafail Sarantis, an Aluminium Technician.

Alumil India also announced plans to launch the Architectural Aluminium Academy (AAA) next year. The academy will serve as an innovation and skills development centre, dedicated to advancing architectural aluminium systems in India. The initiative aims to provide continuous professional training, enabling fabricators to adopt global standards and practices.

“We created this programme for our partners in the field of architectural aluminium systems to improve construction quality and offer the best possible service to our customers. This pilot project has helped us understand how Indian fabricators work and allowed us to tailor future training to better address their needs,” said Theodoros Axouristos, Managing Director of Alumil India. “We plan to introduce AAA in India next year to ensure a win-win outcome for our partners, customers, and ourselves”.

All participants received certificates of completion and a technical guide that covered the seminar topics, enhancing their capabilities in working with Alumil’s architectural systems.

“The programme imparts training in different types of techniques for secure installation of aluminium window and door systems. It is designed for fabricators to understand the correct installation techniques to prevent deflection against strong winds and changing weather conditions in India especially, for high-rise structures. It empowers fabricators to deliver energy-efficient solutions, contributing to both; environmental sustainability and construction excellence”. Ultimately, this project fosters a culture of cooperation between us and our partners, with joint success as our main goal, concluded Mr. Axouristos.
