ALUCOBOND®, the flagship brand of Swiss major 3A Composites, a global innovator and leading manufacturer of high–quality Aluminium Composite Materials, is set to redefine architectural possibilities in India. Building on its international legacy, the company is expanding the footprint of its next-generation composite material ALUCORE, a name that has stood for innovation and performance for over three decades.
ALUCORE Introduces Next-Gen Variants for Modern Architecture
With a renewed focus on advanced technology, ALUCORE now comes in two innovative variants — ALUCORE Honeycomb Panels and ALUCORE ACCP.
As the name suggests, ALUCORE Honeycomb integrates an aluminium honeycomb core between two aluminium cover sheets. This varient further delivers exceptional strength and lightweight durability. Meanwhile, ALUCORE ACCP features an aluminium corrugated core between two aluminium skins, offering enhanced rigidity and design versatility.
Both variants are engineered to meet the evolving needs of Indian architects, enabling the creation of complex, high-end architectural designs that balance aesthetics, performance, and long-term durability.

Strengthening India’s Architectural Landscape
This product expansion reinforces ALUCOBOND’s diverse portfolio of technologically advanced cladding solutions designed for premium projects. From airports and stadiums to commercial towers, malls, and urban transit systems, ALUCORE continues to find applications across India’s growing infrastructure landscape. Notable examples include Visakhapatnam Airport, Patna Airport, Lulu Mall in Lucknow, and Max Towers in Noida. Its impressive mechanical properties make it ideal for façade cladding, roofing, and even walkable roofs designed for maintenance access.
In line with the Prime Minister’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, 3A Composites’ manufactures ALUCORE at its state-of-the-art Ranjangaon facility near Pune, Maharashtra. From here, ALUCORE is distributed across India and exported to major markets across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
Commitment to Innovation and Performance
Highlighting the product’s legacy, Mr. Ranjeet Sharma, President and CEO, 3A Composites India Pvt Ltd, stated:
In the rapidly evolving field of architecture, we are introducing path-breaking composite materials that redefine the industry. With ALUCORE, we are empowering architects to design projects that prioritize performance, durability, and fire safety. Our commitment to innovation has made us a trusted name in metal cladding, and we are confident that ALUCORE will continue to be a game-changer for the Indian market.”
Expanding on this vision, Mr. Amar Kirale, Associate Vice President, 3A Composites India Pvt Ltd, added:
ALUCORE® is 100% recyclable, making it one of the most promising façade materials for sustainable and intelligent buildings. We are reaching out to architects across India through experiential engagements, open dialogues, and direct presentations to highlight its performance and sustainability advantages.”
Precision Engineering: How ALUCORE Ensures Quality and Consistency
ALUCORE is produced on an automated, intelligent production line, ensuring perfect flatness, uniform finish, and consistent quality. It undergoes a multi-coat, multi-bake process using the highest-grade PVDF/FEVE fluorocarbon-based coating, adhering to AAMA 2605 specifications for superior exterior performance.
Its surface finishes are inspired by ALUCOBOND’s premium aesthetic range. The range varies from solid, metallic, and vibrant tones to wood, stone, marble, and anodized finishes. Moreover, 3A Composites offers colour customization services to match specific project requirements alongside RAL and PANTONE shade options.
Technical Excellence: Built to Withstand the Elements
Among its variants, ALUCORE Honeycomb stands out for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, providing remarkable load-bearing capacity while remaining lightweight. The design integrates a strong aluminium honeycomb core between two aluminium skins. It further enhances rigidity and allows the panels to withstand high wind pressures – a crucial factor for high-rise façades.
Made from non-corrosive marine-grade aluminium alloy, ALUCORE delivers long-lasting durability, superior weather resistance, and dependable performance even under challenging climatic conditions. Moreover, ALUCORE meets Class A2-s1, d0 fire classification as per EN 13501-1 standards, ensuring high levels of fire safety. This makes it ideal for high-rise buildings, critical infrastructure, and spaces with heavy human traffic, where safety and reliability are paramount.
A Proven Global Legacy of ALUCORE: Setting Benchmarks Worldwide
Since its global debut in 1994, ALUCORE has earned wide recognition among architects and façade consultants worldwide. A milestone achievement came in 2019, when Beijing Daxing International Airport – designed by Zaha Hadid Architects – incorporated over 6.5 Lakh-SqFt of ALUCORE for its roofing. This project utilized ALUCORE CLAD, a ready-to-install, precision-fabricated solution produced at ALUCOBOND’s advanced facility, ensuring unmatched installation quality and finish.
In India, ALUCORE continues to make its mark across upcoming mega projects, cementing its position as a material of choice for architects striving for innovative, sustainable, and high-performance designs. Meanwhile, its flagship sibling ALUCOBOND also continues to dominate the façade segment – most recently with around 2.5 Lakh-SqFt used in the Navi Mumbai International Airport project, also designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.
Conclusion
With a strong legacy of innovation, a commitment to sustainability, and a clear focus on the evolving needs of Indian architecture, ALUCORE stands at the forefront of 3A Composites’ vision to transform the built environment. Its combination of technology, design versatility, and environmental responsibility continues to set new benchmarks for architectural excellence.
