Comital Lamalu is an Italian company that produces aluminium. The company was created when Comital split into Comital Lamalu and Cuki Group SpA, which specialises in food packaging. Thanks to investment from Franco-Belgian industrial group AEDI, Comital Lamalu has invested €20 million in order to upgrade its plant in Volpiano (Piemonte, Italy), and backshore production of aluminium from a plant located in Sweden. Production in Volpiano has increased by 20% to date, which has led to the creation of 40 new jobs.
