4,750 m2 of aluminum composite facade elements for Lucis One

Kempen Composiet has been the partner of choice in aluminum cladding for six years, its core business being the supply of machined and unmachined aluminum composite. The company can pre-process aluminum composite cladding elements in-house using its own CNC machines. This ensures flexibility and relieves clients from A to Z. Following telling projects such as Plus Ultra in Leiden and Accelerator in Utrecht, the new building of Lucis One in Eindhoven is a nice calling card for this. "We as Kempen Composite are proud that we were able to contribute to this magnificent building."

For the new building at the High Tech Campus 91 in Eindhoven, Kempen Composite supplied no less than 4,750 m2 of aluminum composite facade elements. "We were approached by MGB Cladding Systems at an early stage, to provide insight into the cost price for the supply of the aluminum composite for Lucis One," says Luke van den Bogaart, Sales Manager at Kempen Composite. "In a close partnership with MGB Cladding Systems, we laid the groundwork for the detailing of the gable bands. We also made and presented a mock-up to contractor Bouwbedrijf van de Ven and client High Tech Campus Eindhoven (HTCE) to demonstrate the detailing and execution methodology. Our partner ALUCOBOND® supported us in supplying the materials required for the mock-up and the overall project, in the high-profile colors Bronze Metallic and Satin Brown."

Fully pre-finished and prefabricated

The delivery from Kempen Composite includes both the horizontal façade bands, vertical façade panels, roof edges, columns and cassettes in aluminum composite, with the cassettes also featuring a bed hook system (hook-in system), says Van den Bogaart. "The aluminum composite from ALUCOBOND® manufacturer 3A Composites was pre-finished and prefabricated in our workshop in Bergeijk, where we also put the material in the right shapes. With this, we delivered a semi-finished product, which could easily and quickly be assembled on site. With this, we relieved MGB Cladding Systems in every possible way."
