Aluminium that comes to life in the light: AMAG AP1 clad TopBright is a specially developed base material for anodised facades and interiors. Its uniformly glossy, slightly diffuse surface plays with light, shadow and perspective in a novel and subtle way and blends seamlessly into any environment – indoors or outdoors. Thanks to its versatility in various facade systems, cladding and applications, our high-quality material offers creative freedom for modern, durable architecture.

Winner of both the German Facade Prize 2022 and the German Design Award 2023, the facade of the combined heat and power plant in Leipzig has transformed the technical facility into a work of art. The high-gloss aluminium shingles, made from AMAG-material, enable the building to blend into its surroundings in a distinctive manner.

Austria is a leading supplier of aluminium sheets, strips and plates for the architecture, aviation, automotive and mechanical engineering industries. More than 2,000 employees worldwide ensure material expertise and strong partnerships.
