Hydro Building Systems Spain Extends Partnership with Interpon Anodic

Hydro Building Systems Spain, a global manufacturer of aluminum profile systems, is extending its 20-year partnership with AkzoNobel and using the Interpon Anodic range to give architects and designers more choice and flexibility than traditional anodizing, with reduced environmental implications and cost. 

As an Interpon Approved Applicator for many years, Hydro Building Systems Spain was looking for further support to move away from anodizing because it had to be outsourced and because of its harmful effect on the environment.

Arantxa Oritz Barredo, Hydro Building Systems Spain purchasing and powder manager, says with the Interpon Anodic range, Hydro can create the appearance of an anodized finish, but in a powder coating, and produce it in-house. 

“The quality of finish is further guaranteed by industry-leading warranties, and Interpon’s accreditation to Qualicoat Class I and II,” Barredo says.

Hydro is respected for its pioneering work in sustainability and started working with AkzoNobel after building a new manufacturing site in Spain at the start of the new millennium.

Today, it offers a choice of more than 175 different Interpon powder coatings in a range of colors and finishes. The Interpon D team works closely with Hydro Building Systems Spain to ensure its finishes are always on trend, enabling the client to build its own library of additional, bespoke colors from which its customers can choose.
