As a key player in the industry, the company is committed to contributing to India’s growth by providing advanced aluminium systems that cater to the country’s unique climatic and infrastructural demands. In this interview with Mr. Theodoros Axouristos, Managing Director of Alumil India, we delve into how Alumil’s innovations are shaping the future of architecture while aligning with global sustainability goals.

1. What do you believe is the single most important quality that defines a ‘nation builder,’ and how does that reflect in your leadership style and organizational ethos?

A "nation builder" drives positive change through vision, commitment, and innovation. They focus on creating lasting impact through sustainable and responsible growth. At Alumil, this philosophy is embedded in our leadership, fostering a culture of innovation, integrity, and inclusivity. Our environmentally responsible aluminium systems contribute to national infrastructure, ensuring long-lasting and iconic buildings.

2. With a strong global legacy, how has Alumil adapted its innovations and solutions to meet the unique demands of the Indian architectural landscape?

India’s diverse climate, from extreme heat to heavy monsoons, requires high-performance building materials. Alumil’s systems offer energy efficiency, durability and design flexibility, tailored to meet Indian architecture's specific needs. Our commitment to innovation ensures we stay ahead, delivering customized solutions that seamlessly integrate performance with sustainability.

3. Sustainability is a core principle at Alumil. How do your aluminium systems align with green building practices and the circular economy?

Sustainability is at our core. Our breakthrough Loop 80 innovation, made from 80% recycled aluminium, sets a new global benchmark for sustainable architectural systems. Certified for high-specification projects seeking LEED and BREEAM certification, it minimizes CO2 emissions and promotes circular economy practices, reducing environmental impact.

4. As a changemaker, what innovations or breakthroughs in your field do you believe will have the most profound impact on India’s growth in the next decade?

The future lies in durable, sustainable materials that reduce energy consumption and withstand climate changes. Loop 80 builds on Loop 60, our first certified recycled aluminium launched in 2023. This innovation led to an 87% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to primary aluminium production. By reusing existing aluminium and minimizing bauxite mining, Alumil is driving energy and raw material savings, supporting India’s responsible development.

5. Looking ahead, what’s next for Alumil India? Are there any upcoming innovations or expansion plans that will further strengthen your market leadership?

We aim to reinforce our leadership in large-scale projects across India by introducing next-generation aluminium systems that align with modern architectural trends, sustainability, and smart city developments. Our expansion strategy includes entering new markets, strengthening collaborations with top architects and developers, and advancing India’s green building movement. By continuously innovating, Alumil remains committed to shaping a more sustainable and energy-efficient future for India.
