Christian’s Job

As of January 2, 2008 Christian began a new job working as an automation engineer at a company called NOVELIS (formerly ALCAN).  Since it was acquired in 1994, Novelis’ Nachterstedt (Germany) plant has benefited from over 170 Million Euros investment. Today Nachterstedt is equipped with the latest cold rolling technology.  Additionally, the plant has a state-of-the-art robot workshop that is dedicated to the laser cutting of shaped body blanks for the automotive industry.  Its continuous annealing and finishing line, together with further finishing equipment, enable material to be supplied annealed, degreased, etched, pre-treated (anodically or chemically), painted or re-lubricated.  The main markets served by the Nachterstedt plant include Automotive, Transport and Building.
