A big kick for Hydro Aluminium

(Nov. 27, 2003) The 2004 European Football Championship takes place in Portugal, and Hydro Aluminium - with its building systems - is in the picture in several of the new stadiums.

The Euro 2004 football tournament - or, soccer, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean - will showcase some of the best players and teams in the world. All fans interested in the sport will have their eyes turned to Portugal when the first match kicks off on June 12. The final is scheduled for July 4.

FOOTBALL: Dragon Stadium in Porto includes extruded aluminium building systems from Hydro Aluminium.

In turn, Portugal is using the opportunity to show viewers and provide participants with a unique experience. This includes new arenas.

Seven new stadia are being built and three others completely renovated, and Technal - one of Hydro Aluminium's three primary building systems brands - is the selected brand to supply aluminium building systems solutions for the most important of the new stadiums.

As a clear market leader on the project segment in Portugal, Technal and its team of experts will assure the best solutions for these “state-of-the-art” football stadiums and, of course, take advantage of being associated with this highly exposed European event.

Technal, together with the Wicona and Domal brands, represent the core of the Building Systems business unit, which is part of the Extrusion business sector.
