From The Chairman

Dear Sponsors, Executive Committee Members, Speakers, Participants and Supporting Organizations of ALUS,

The International Aluminium Symposium was set out in 1994 with the aim of bringing the aluminium industry and academia together and adding new regional power to international symposiums and scientific studies in this field, has become an international platform where important scientific and technological developments related to aluminum are shared. With consistent increase in the number of participants, invited speakers and papers presented, ALUS continues to be a leading platform that guides the aluminium industry.

Due to its superior qualities such as flexibility, lightweight, impermeability, high conductivity and 100% recyclability, aluminium is one of the key contributors to sustainable development. Aluminium is the material that meets the current and future needs of modern life without compromising the needs of our future generations. For this reason, its application areas are expanding day by day and has become an inseparable part of our daily lives from construction to packaging, transportation, defense industries and HVAC sector.

As a result of the efforts made with great devotion and diligence, it is also pleasing to see that our symposium has received international recognition and a rewarding reputation throughout these years. I would like to thank the Executive Committee of the International Aluminium Symposium, the International Scientific Committee and the sponsors, who make the organization of this event possible every two years, for their invaluable contributions. We would also like to express our gratitude to the contributors for their valuable presentations.

This year, distinguished academicians and important industry representatives around the world will take part as guest speakers at the 12th International Aluminium Symposium, which will be held simultaneously with the ALUEXPO 2025, 9th International Aluminium Technology, Machinery and Products Trade Fair. With this symposium, which will cover all aspects of aluminium, we aim to share the scientific and technological developments that will shape the industry in an international environment as well as to create a vision for Türkiye’s place and future in the aluminium world.

With the symposium organized by Turkish Aluminium Industrialists Association (TALSAD), TUBITAK Marmara Research Center (TUBITAK MRC) and UCTEA Chamber of Metallurgical and Materials Engineers Training Center (METEM) we will achieve this goal and we will continue to shape not only the present, but also the future of aluminium.

I sincerely thank all our stakeholders and supporters who have made important contributions to the organization of the 12th International Aluminium Symposium.

Best Regards,

Derya HATİBOĞLU
12th International Aluminium Symposium Executive Committee Chairman
