Manufacturing Eco-Friendly Aluminium Composite Panels

Supplying to more than 25 countries around the world, RMK Industries’ primary stronghold is the Middle Eastern, African and Asian markets and is trusted by internationally renowned consultants, contractors and architects.

Tinius Olsen has undertaken projects with international corporations and governmental organizations such as Coca-Cola, Shangri-la Hotels, Emaar and the Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai.

RMK Industries was established more than 40 years ago and was initially focused on the trading of architectural facade products. Over the years, we transitioned into the manufacturing of high-quality architectural products and are now proud to be one of the leading manufacturers of aluminum composite panels and pre-painted aluminum coils in the Middle East.

Our aluminum composite panels are formulated using the finest raw materials and the latest technologies, resulting resulting in premium quality products that match or exceed industry benchmark standards, ensuring compliance with the most stringent international standards such as ASTM, NFPA , LEED by USGBC, EN and ISO.

Charmaine Timario, Quality Control Manager.

Aluminum composite panels are lightweight cladding panels used to improve the weather resistance and visual appeal of buildings by adding external building facades and fascia.

The flat panels are comprised of two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a modified mineral-filled fire retardant core. When made to the proper specifications and officially certified to perform to code, regulations, and fire safety laws, the benefits of installing these panels come from their robust durability, high weather resistance, and lightweight.

Further to this, they are cost-effective, easy to install, and low maintenance.

“Across the entire product portfolio of RMK, we are invested in the quality of our products through continuous enhancement of our production processes, a strong focus on quality control and, especially, creating a green footprint though all our manufacturing processes,” continued Charmaine.

“Achieving a sustainable ecosystem has been a core goal of ours since we got into manufacturing, and we have taken and continue to take, the necessary steps to achieve this goal. Our facilities are powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and water reuse systems. We also promote the use of electric vehicles, having installed electric car charging stations in our facilities. We have adopted the use of sustainable methods throughout our manufacturing processes. We've done this by having a solvent recovery system in our innovatory coil coating line, ensuring the reuse of any wastage during production.” 

“Our aluminum coil coating line uses chrome-free chemicals and lead-free paints and we are one of the first companies in the region to be equipped with a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) that neutralizes 99%+ of air pollutants during the coil coating process, helping us minimize our environmental impact. Our products are 100% recyclable and are LEED-certified, contributing up to 30 points towards LEED projects.”

“Our green initiatives will help us achieve a positive and far-reaching impact on our planet, with an estimated clean energy generation of more than 19,000 MWh and more than 8000 tonnes of carbon emissions that will be avoided.”

Bearing this and production in mind, the company ensures each product adheres to all recognized international standards, with RMK performing a wide range of tests at its in-house testing lab in order to check the manufacturing standards throughout the entire process.

“We conduct numerous mechanical property tests on our products using our Tinius Olsen 25ST, such as the 180 degrees peel strength test, drum peel strength, tensile strength, punch shear strength, bending strength and various others.”

“After a year of acquiring the 25ST, it has proved to be exceptional in meeting our material testing requirements. It helps us assure our products are delivered to the highest of standards.”

“We chose Tinius Olsen equipment due to its history, reliability and ease of use in the field of material testing. With Tinius Olsen, we can ensure our products are meeting the highest quality standards, helping us deliver the best to our customers. We are also happy with the technical support team who visits us both off and on site from time to time.”
