For 25 years I, Anne Deacon Juhl, have been working in the anodizing industry and I am as passionate about my work as on the first day.

I strongly believe that anodizing is the most sustainable surface finishing solution for aluminum. Thus, by using anodized aluminum we can lower the carbon footprint for a lot of aluminum products, aluminum in buildings and transportations.

At AluConsult, I want to help anodizers and end-users to harness the full benefits of anodized aluminum and to make their work with it as cost-efficient and easy as possible.
