C-TEC, Voreppe, France - Aluminium Research and Development Center

The Constellium Technology Center (C-TEC) is our world-renowned R&D facility with ~250 employees dedicated to aluminium and its alloys. Opened in 1967, the center has been a key contributor to numerous innovations in aluminium metallurgy, including the design of new alloys, metallurgical tempers, products, functional applications, transformation and enabling processes.
