WEIQIAO Germany GmbH becomes a mem­ber of AMAP

Duessel­dorf, 24.06.2021

On 24.06.2021 WEIQIAO Germany GmbH was suc­cess­fully admit­ted as a full mem­ber of AMAP. For the future, many inter­est­ing joint research pro­jects based on inter­dis­cip­lin­ary, pre-com­pet­it­ive cooper­a­tion between com­pan­ies of the alu­min­um industry, insti­tutes of RWTH Aachen Uni­ver­sity and end users in the rel­ev­ant sub­ject areas are expec­ted. The top­ics include basic research and applic­a­tion-ori­ented R&D for the mater­i­al alu­min­um and its alloys and imple­ment­a­tion in innov­at­ive pro­cess technologies.

AMAP GmbH is a found­a­tion closesly linked to RWTH Aachen Uni­ver­sity. Cur­rently, 13 indus­tri­al com­pan­ies and 6 insti­tutes of RWTH Aachen Uni­ver­sity are rep­res­en­ted in the AMAP Cluster. The part­ners involved in the AMAP Alu­min­um Cluster agree on a pre-com­pet­it­ive goal as an essen­tial pre­requis­ite for sus­tain­able and suc­cess­ful pro­ject work. The pro­ject mem­bers from industry and uni­ver­sity work act­ively, inter­dis­cip­lin­ary and across dif­fer­ent dis­cip­lines in Aachen.

WEIQIAO Germany GmbH is a European sub­si­di­ary of the Chinese Shan­dong Weiqiao Pion­eer­ing Group. The group includes 3 lis­ted com­pan­ies — two of which are lis­ted in Hong Kong, 12 domest­ic and for­eign pro­duc­tion sites and over 100,000 employ­ees world­wide. The com­plete value chains of the tex­tile and alu­min­um indus­tries are covered by the group.
