00:33and improve its competitiveness, especially in the construction and industry sectors.
00:39Thanks to this merger, Aluminium du Maroc significantly increases its production capacity
00:44of aluminum profiles, now reaching 27,000 tons per year in extrusion, an increase of 35%.
00:51Thermal lacking capacity will also see significant progress, with an increase of 50%,
00:57thus reaching 21,000 tons per year.
01:00These developments meet the growing demand for aluminum products, especially in the
01:05construction and industry sectors, and will allow the group to ensure increased competitiveness

02:13improving the indicators of the creation of financial and economic value.
