Fusina, 19th November 2007 - The 'Marine Day' congress, an opportunity to meet all the operators of the Italian naval sector, was jointly held by Alcoa Europe, Alluminio Toscana (Cauvin Group) and Metra Industria. The two day 'Marine Day' event took place at Metra in Brescia and at the Alcoa plant in Fusina. Fusina is a worldwide reference point for high quality aluminum products supplied to the marine market and well known for its consolidated presence all over the world.

The guest speakers Donatella Mascia from the Genoa University and Luis Mario Volpone from the Italian Welding Institute in Genoa presented on innovative advantages like high productivity joining techniques and structural strength of aluminum used in marine applications.
