Alumil trains select fabricators in industry best practices
Alumil India, the fully-owned Indian subsidiary of Alumil Group and the Architectural Aluminium Academy recently piloted a training programme to train Indian fabricators in industry best practices for the construction and installation of aluminium window and door frames. Titled ‘Knowledge Without Borders’, the company conducted a series of specialized seminars aimed at enhancing the skills of fabricators across the country and to bridge the gap between European and Indian construction and installation standards. Held in Ahmedabad, Madurai, Coimbatore, Mumbai and Hyderabad, the sessions focused on best practices for aluminium frame installation, energy-saving techniques and problem-solving strategies. The training sessions were conducted by Vasileios Katselas - Senior Technical Trainer, Civil Engineer, MSc and Georgios Rafail Sarantis - Aluminium Technician from Greece.
Alumil India plans to launch the Architectural Aluminium Academy (AAA) in India next year. AAA is an innovation and skills development centre focused on architectural aluminium systems. Established by Alumil, the academy aims to advance the construction industry through continuous professional training and development.
“We created the programme for our partners in the field of Architectural Aluminium Systems to help improve construction and the quality of finished products in order to offer the best possible service to our customers. This was a pilot project for us to get a better grip on the way Indian fabricators work, execute projects and receive feedback on the training imparted. We are in a better position today to understand the expectations of our partners based on the challenges they face in their projects. We plan to take this information to design a training programme that is more in tune with the onground reality and introduce AAA in India sometime next year for a win-win outcome for our partners, our customers and for us,” says Theodoros Axouristos, Managing Director, Alumil India.
All participants received a certificate of completion and a technical guide covering the seminar topics, enhancing their capabilities in Alumil 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. The most important thing, however, lies in the fact that this is a project transmitting the culture of cooperation between us and our partners, with joint success as the main goal of this journey,” concludes Axouristos.
