3A Composites is a Swiss multinational and a global leader in aluminium composite material (ACM) or also commonly known as aluminium composite panels (ACP). The flagship brand ALUCOBOND® was invented in 1969 and since then has become synonymous with ACM/ACP. The company operates a state-of-the-art facility near Pune in India, with a fast, automated production line that ensures high-quality products with consistency. These products are sold in India as well as exported globally.

3A Composites infrastructure, quality control, environment, health, and safety are among the best in the world. The company is certified for quality management, environmental management, and health and safety management, and holds international certifications, including Class 1A Product Certification from TUV Singapore.

Can you tell us about the range of products?

3A Composites products are renowned for their quality. With ALUCOBOND®, the company was the first to introduce PVDF-coated aluminum composite panels in India followed by ALUCOBOND® PLUS (a fire-retardant version), and then ALUCOBOND® A2 (a non-combustible ACP). All these products are highly sought after due to their lightweight, rigid, and formable characteristics.

In addition to the ALUCOBOND® line, 3A Composites also offers ALUCORE® - aluminum honeycomb panel, which has an aluminum honeycomb core between two aluminum skins and has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
