Hammerer Aluminium Industries (HAI) in Ranshofen, Austria, entered into a strategic partnership with Hycobility Engineering & Technologies to successfully establish the innovative hybrid material HycoFusion®, which consists of aluminum and wood, for new industrial applications.
“For the HAI Group, this partnership underlines our ambition to shape future markets at an early stage and to translate innovative material concepts into industrial applications,” said Rob van Gils, CEO of HAI. “This is precisely where we see our role as a driver of innovation in the European aluminium industry: taking on new material solutions with genuine future potential, developing them further and bringing them into industrial practice.”
Hybrid Aluminum Material
HAI is strategically applying its materials expertise, industrial strength, and clear focus on sustainable solutions to bring next-generation technologies to market. Together with Hycobility Engineering & Technologies, HAI is accelerating the journey from concept to industrial implementation, thereby strengthening the development of market-ready hybrid materials with genuine future potential.
HycoFusion is a forward-looking hybrid material that combines aluminum and wood in an innovative material solution, thereby opening up entirely new possibilities for high-performance, resource-efficient applications. Whether in façade systems, mechanical engineering, or building components, the material combines the proven technical performance of aluminum with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. As a result, it lays the foundation for more sustainable solutions without compromising on functionality and usability.
Together, HAI and Hycobility will drive forward the market launch of HycoFusion and thereby provide new impetus for the industrial use of modern hybrid materials. The partnership focuses on rapidly translating innovative material solutions into scalable applications and unlocking new potential for sustainable designs.
