EDITORIAL
Enteringa new era
F or Constellium, 2013 was a pivotal year.
Our successful initial public offering on
the New York Stock Exchange in May and
two subsequent secondary offerings by
former shareholders, RioTinto and Apollo, ushered
in an exciting new era for Constellium as an inde-
pendent public company fully in control of its
development. Our strong fi nancial performance
validated our market strategy and paved the way
for investment in the company’s future. With adjust-
ed EBITDA growth of 26%, a low EBITDA/debt ratio,
and a successful debt refi nancing, Constellium is
fi nancially solid and well-positioned for the future.
Our strategy remains focused on three growing and
technologically advanced markets – automotive,
aerospace and packaging – and on our two core com-
petencies of aluminum rolling and extrusion. We are
also committed to geographic expansion, operation-
al excellence and innovation to serve our customers
around the globe with quality, value-added products.
It is an approach that has delivered results and won
the trust of investors.
That confi dence in Constellium was earned in part by
securing the top line with a series of multi-year con-
tracts. Our LEAN transformation program has been
successfully deployed across the company and is
already achieving results on working conditions, bet-
ter service to our customers and improved operation-
al performance. Innovation remains a vital component
of Constellium’s DNA. The creation of our Internation-
al Scientifi c Council will help ensure that Constellium
remains at the forefront of global technology trends.
Looking beyond our own research and innovation
capabilities, we have established a research partner-
ship with Brunel University and Jaguar Land Rover
to design the aluminium materials of the future.
PAVING THE WAY TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Sustainability plays a key role in the company’s
present and future. While much has been achieved,
we continuously strive for improvements in safety,
Constellium’s utmost priority, and operational
excellence. Accelerating cultural change in the
organization and empowering our employees are
the key drivers for delivering those improvements.
We encourage and expect every individual at every
one of our sites to make an active contribution to
the success of our company.
As we continue to execute on our strategy, we are
accelerating unprecedented investment in new
capacity to take advantage of growth opportunities
and meet the current and anticipated needs of our
customers. We will invest more than €300 million in
the near future. Part of this investment will be dedi-
cated to Body-in-White production in Europe and
the US, as carmakers increasingly turn to aluminium,
while we are building two new AIRWARE® cast houses
to support our growth in aerospace. 2013 was clear-
ly a transformative year for Constellium, and we will
continue to sustainably deliver on our commitments
to all our stakeholders in the years ahead.

Constellium’s strategy was defined in 2012 with a clear aim of becoming the most profitable company in the aluminium industry.
STRATEGY
A statement of ambition
C onstellium is a supplier of high value-
added technology and solutions, provid-
ing rolled and ex truded aluminium
products predominantly for the aero-
space, automotive and packaging markets. Thanks
to its world-class technology center and its exten-
sive production expertise, Constellium has been
able to develop breakthrough technologies, such
as AIRWARE® for the aerospace sector. Demand
for this advanced technology has led to signifi cant
investments to further increase production cap-
acity at our plant in Issoire, France.
In 2013, Constellium’s management took steps to
improve the operational performance of the com-
pany, streamline the product portfolio and either
invest or plan future investments to generate
growth in its three core markets.
In 2014, Constellium management will continue to
improve operations at plant level, with a specifi c
focus on quality, and will also implement an
ambitious development program.

STRATEGY
Deliveringon our commitments
Constellium concentrates on the three core markets of aerospace, automotive and packaging.
Strictly following its strategic
roadmap, Constellium’s
management priority over
the past two years was
to lead efficient transformation
programs and accelerate ambitious
investment projects with the aim
to boost operational excellence,
streamline the product portfolio and
create growth through innovation and
a global footprint.
In terms of operational effi ciency, 2013
witnessed significant results. Fixed
production costs were contained –
more than offsetting infl ation – while
net trade working capital was reduced
by €67 million at the end of 2013, pri-
marily due to closer and more active
inventory monitoring. Remarkable
progress was also achieved by the fi rst
wave of Constellium’s LEAN transfor-
mation program. Launched in 2012,
To ensure a successful rollout of its focused and proven strategy, Constellium management drives change across the company.

the target improvement was set at
50% over two years – i.e. an average
of 2% per month – for six key perfor-
mance indicators. The company is on
track on this journey.
INCREASED FOCUS ON KEY MARKETS
Refl ecting on our product and invest-
ment focus, Constellium is focusing on
its three core markets: aerospace,
automotive and packaging. In line with
this strategy, Constellium sold in 2013
its French plants in Ham and Saint-
Florentin, which mainly supplied prod-
ucts for the construction industry.
Similarly, the company’s decision to
concentrate on rolling and extrusion
processes prompted the start of the
divestment process for two casting
plants in France, in Ussel and Sabart.
Meanwhile, significant investments
have been decided. With the first
industrial-scale casthouse for
AIRWARE® now running at full cap acity
after starting up in 2013, plans for two
further AIRWARE® casthouses at
Issoire were announced in early 2014.
These new units are expected to be
operational in 2015 and 2016, respec-
tively. As of today, total investment in
AIRWARE® capacity-building programs
is expected to be close to €100 million.
In the US, the capacity of our automo-
tive structures plant in Van Buren,
Michigan will be increased to adapt to
the expected growth in the US market,
while a joint venture with United Alu-
minium Company of Japan (UACJ) will
see the creation of new Body-in-White
(BiW) sheet production capacity. The
two companies will jointly invest
nearly $150 million to build a continu-
ous heat treatment and conversion
line in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
In parallel, further BiW sheet cap acity
in Europe was also announced in
early 2014 at Constellium plants in
Neuf-Brisach, France and Singen,
Germany.
And packaging activities also bene-
fited from investments in pusher
furnaces and a casting complex at
Neuf-Brisach.
Finally, signifi cant advances have also
been achieved through innovation. In
a spirit of co-creation partnerships
with customers and universities
around the globe, the company is
continuously developing innovative
solutions for its customers, such as
the recycling of AIRWARE® chips for
the aerospace industry and a variety
of specific and advanced alloys for
the automotive industry (SurfalexTM,
FormalexTM, SecuralexTM, and the latest
generation of Crash Management
Systems).
LEAN TRANSFORMATION
LEAN relates to three key
aspects of Constellium’s
activities – employee
engagement, customer
satisfaction and operational
excellence. Each is divided
into its two most important
areas: Environment, Health
and Safety and employee
contributions for our people;
quality and on-time delivery
for customers; and equipment
effi ciency and production
control for operations.

shop fl oor and a new culture of recognizing quali-
ty as being key to Constellium’s future. A combi-
nation of training and communication campaigns
at all sites and offi ces – including “2014: The Year
of Quality” – are delivering quantifi able benefi ts.
Having selected the key metric of monthly custom-
er complaints, the company’s aim in late 2012 was
to cut that number in half by the end of 2014. This
target was in fact achieved in 2013, a result every-
one in the company should be proud of. A revised
target of a further halving of the fi gure has been
set for the current year. If we succeed, it will result
in a division by four of the number of customer
complaints, in only two years.
The key to these advances has largely been the use
of four LEAN tools: the Red Bin, 8D investigation
(problem-solving technique), Quick Response Quality
Control (QRQC) workshops and Quality walls. These
essentially provide a way of identifying a faulty part
or industrial process, determining the root cause
A s a manufacturing company, opera-
tional effi ciency is an integral part of
Constellium’s business model. The fi rst
priority of efficiency is safety for our
employees (see pp. 19-21 of the Sustainability Per-
formance Report), and the second is to create a
better work environment and foster continuous
improvement everywhere in the company. But the
program aims also at producing a good product
that is delivered on time to our customers. For sev-
eral reasons, quality has been a major focus of the
LEAN transformation plan launched in late 2012.
And we have also decided to accelerate our pro-
gress by making 2014 the Year of Quality. This is of
utmost importance since, clearly, product quality
drives customer satisfaction, which in turn gene-
rates contracts for new business and market share
gain. However, unlike other aspects of the trans-
formation – such as innovation, supply chain and
cost reduction – quality does not necessarily in-
volve major capital expenditure, and tangible im-
provements can be achieved in months rather than
years: most quality problems can be resolved
through better controls, and better management
and employee attention.
QUALITY INITIATIVES
A wide range of action plans have therefore been
deployed at plant level – involving new working
practices, new management organization on the
As the main focus of Constellium’s LEAN transformation program, a great deal was achieved in 2013 in terms of operational efficiency. However, the company is taking steps to make further improvements over the course of 2014.

of the problem and then providing defi nitive reme-
dial action. And the Quality wall adds a further
level of inspection in order to protect the customer.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
To sustain the momentum achieved on quality, and
to further increase both operational effi ciency and
customer satisfaction, Constellium is stepping up
this improvement process in 2014. Over a two-
month period, all production operators – about
5,000 employees – will be trained on the pro-
blem-resolution technique used during the Red Bin
review. For its part, the 8D investigation process
proved invaluable in 2013, with the effectiveness
of these exercises rising almost three-fold over the
course of the year. With this technique now fully
embedded, the objective in 2014 is to increase its
frequency – by conducting an 8D on every single
customer complaint.
For more complex questions involving the root
causes of issues in processes, Constellium intro-
duced three-day Quick Response Quality Control
workshops at its plants, workshops for which
engineers, quality specialists and operators all
come together to work as a team on a given pro-
blem. The success of these QRQC workshops has
prompted the rollout in 2014 of a new workshop,
entitled Control Plan, which focuses on how to
prevent a technical problem that has been fi xed
in one area from arising elsewhere. Finally, the
Quality wall process will also be strengthened
during the year.
Together, these measures will clearly enable
Constellium to deliver further business improve-
ments, better satisfy its customers and gain more
business: a happy customer is a faithful customer.
That is why 2014 is the “Year of Quality.” Our goal
is to be the benchmark of the industry in quality.
We have almost reached it, but we must still
redouble efforts to get there!
The LEAN Excellence Flag is awarded temporarily to the plants that satisfy all 6 KPIs.
THE SIX LEAN KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
• Recordable Cases
• Missed Contributions
• Quality Complaints
• Missed Deliveries
• Inventory DOH (Days on Hand)
• Downtime and Slowdown

Constellium drives innovation with its world-class research and technology capabilities, paired with external strategic partnerships to deliver industry-leading products and technologies at the shortest time to market.
INNOVATION
Innovationin action
In an industry that is rapidly evolving, both in terms
of customers’ needs and competitive pressure, a
key metric at Constellium for successful innovation
is time to market. This means fi nding the right bal-
ance between internal research at its world-lead-
ing Constellium Technology Center and external
partnerships to complement and accelerate the
innovation process.
Internally, Constellium uses a fi ve-level innovation
gate approach that involves two separate phases.
R&D focuses on innovation levels 1 to 3, which
cover exploratory research, feasibility and devel-
opment steps into breakthrough products, as well
as processes for the future and incremental
improvements to existing ones. The Technology
team, in combination with business resources, is
then responsible for levels 4 to 5 – the transition
to industrialization at Constellium plants and
product launch.
In order to ensure that innovation remains closely
tied to customers’ needs, Constellium’s business
units take an active role in the gate reviews as a
product or process prepares to move from one stage
to the next. The benefi ts of Constellium’s approach,
introduced over the last two years, are already clear:
in 2013, Constellium Technology Center filed its
highest number of patent applications in a decade.
Externally, Constellium has major partnerships
with universities and research institutes across
Europe and the US. These include CNRS/University
laboratories, Technological Research Institute (IRT)
Jules Verne and IRT Materials, Metallurgy and
Processes (M2P) in France; École Polytechnique
Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland;
Britain’s Brunel University (see inset) and Univer-
sity of Manchester; RWTH Aachen in Germany;
Delft University in the Netherlands; the University
of Southern Carolina; and Worcester Polytechnic
Institute in the US. Together with its internal
resources, they place Constellium in prime position
to achieve its mission of product leadership in its
chosen sectors.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Automotive researchConstellium is supporting a project with Brunel
University and Jaguar Land Rover to build an
Advanced Light Metals Processing Research
Center for the automotive sector in West London.
It will aim to bridge the gap between fundamental
research and industrial applications. Constellium
will co-direct the research, which will focus on high-
performance light alloys, casting and extrusion.
• Innovation RecordsConstellium uses a process known as Innovation
Records (IR) to assess new technology and product
ideas suggested by employees. An Innovation
Record is an idea that is supported by technical
results and offers both a new market solution and
real business potential. Since 2012, 80 have been

validated by a special IR committee – with a third
of them leading to the fi ling of patent applications.
• New generation CMS / BiWA new-generation of Crash Management Systems
(CMS) technology was launched in 2014 which will
provide automakers with a solution that is 10%
stronger or 15% lighter than current aluminium CMS
offerings. A new generation of high performance
6xxx extrusion alloys has been developed in record
time utilising the rapid prototyping capabilities at
Brunel University in combination with the expert
technical resources of Constellium’s Technology
Center, enabling the design engineers to develop
leadership positions in advanced Crash Manage-
ment Systems.
In collaboration with OEMs, to develop more sus-
tainable vehicles by the use of aluminium for new
applications to lightweight and enhance end of life
recycling, Constellium’s Technology Center is also
rapidly extending the Body-in-White (BiW) product
portfolio with high quality and highly formable
skin products (Surfalex™, Formalex™) and high
strength products (Strongalex™) for interior parts.
• Expanding AIRWARE® technology and products AIRWARE® technology is already a commercial
success which justifi es the investment of two new
casthouses at Issoire to add production and recyc-
ling capacity. AIRWARE® technology is now being
further developed at Constellium’s Technology
Center. The aim is to improve the capabilities and
performance of the technology to cover the full
range of aerospace products/shapes, for example
heavy gauge plates (>200mm) and high quality
billets. In addition to the AIRWARE® solutions
currently in production, a complete portfolio of new
ones is in development at different Technology
Readiness Levels (TRLs) for the full range of aero-
structures (wing, fuselage, internal structures)
covering all specifi c customer / new program demands.
OUR INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL
Constellium’s innovation process draws
on the expertise of an International
Scientifi c Council that features six
of the world’s top materials scientists.
Created in 2013 to further strengthen
the company’s technical leadership and
innovation performance, the Council
provides advice and recommendations
on Constellium’s R&D competencies,
its innovation approach, critical R&D
collaborations worldwide and the enriching
of its scientifi c network. “We can contribute
to the strategic evolution in aluminium
technology and advise where Constellium
could develop competences and capacities
in the next decades,” says its Chairman,
Prof. Heinz Voggenreiter, Head of the DLR
German Aerospace Center’s Institutes of
Structures and Design (Stuttgart) and of
Materials Research (Köln).

18
A specialist in aerospace plate and sheet, the Aerospace and Transportation business unit had a successful year in 2013 – securing major contracts from existing customers and commissioning significant increases in production capacity.
AEROSPACE AND TRANSPORTATION
A metalmade for fl ight
C onstellium supplies the world’s leading
aircraft manufacturers with its unique
range of aluminium alloys, which includes
AIRWARE® technology. As the global
leader in value-added aerospace plate, the com pany
provides rolled products such as rectangular and
machined plate for ribs, wing-skins and frames, along
with sheet for fuselages and extrusions for frames,
stiffeners and wing-stringers. In the transportation
sector, Constellium is the market leader for truck
floors, tank trailers and dump bodies in Europe,
and for railcar and roof coil in North America. The
Aerospace and Transportation business unit also
supplies two other markets: defense, notably with
specialized plate for armored vehicles, and industry.
INCREASING CAPACITY
In terms of contracts, 2013 was a very positive year
with the business unit’s major customers. Along with
a high-profile contract with Boeing, Constellium
renewed a key contract for lightweight extrusions
with Airbus. It was also an important year in terms
of manufacturing. The new AIRWARE® casthouse
was inaugurated in March at the Issoire, France,
plant, followed by a production ramp-up that now
provides Constellium with a clear competitive
advantage for advanced alloys. Meanwhile, new
aerospace capabilities were added to Constellium’s
Montreuil-Juigné facility in France, enabling it to
expand the AIRWARE® portfolio of products by
manufacturing the fi rst light extrusion profi les of
the alloy for Bombardier’s new C-Series aircraft.
This investment included new processes for heat
treatment, which will deliver increased quality and
productivity. Further technical improvements were
achieved in 2013 by installing state-of-the-art
ultrasonic test equipment notably at Ravenswood,
in the US.

REDUCING EMISSIONS
At the same time, the company moved to address
the environmental impact of its production activ-
ities. A program to recalibrate the burners at cast-
houses in France over the course of the year led to
a fi vefold reduction in emissions that are subject
to regulation. Similar programs are planned at oth-
er plants in Europe and the US.
In a highly competitive market, product innovation
is clearly a priority. In 2013, Aerospace and Trans-
portation made a series of launches including the
new GRIPSTER™ tread plate for truck and trailer
fl oors and KEIKOR™ advanced alloys for armored
vehicles – offering high blast protection at low
metal densities. Constellium also took part in the
launch of a new research and technology platform
– the Technological Research Institute for Mate-
rials, Metallurgy and Processes (M2P IRT) – that
will focus on the transfer of technology from
universities to industry. The platform will special-
ize in R&T projects in transportation, energy and
industry.
“New capacity and higher productivity” Jean-Christophe Figueroa
President, Aerospace and Transportation
What were the highlights of 2013 for Aerospace and Transportation?The main one was our new sig-
nifi cant, multi-year contract
with Boeing for a range of al-
loys. With this agreement,
Constellium will increase both
the scope and range of pro-
ducts it supplies to Boeing’s
leading commercial airplane
programs. We also added sig-
nifi cant new production cap-
acity at Issoire and launched
new products in the defense
and transportation sectors.
What are the strengths of your business unit?Firstly, it’s having a solid base
of prestigious customers in
Boeing, Airbus, Dassault and
Bombardier among others in a
growing market. We are leaders
in several sectors and, with
AIRWARE®, able to supply high-
performance alloys on an
industrial scale. This manufac-
turing strength is supported
by the world’s most powerful
plate stretcher at Ravenswood
and the construction of two
additional AIRWARE® casthous-
es at Issoire.
What are the challenges facing the business?We are looking to make further
improvements in cost, quality
and delivery to customers,
and at the same time to in-
crease production volumes
through a combination of new
capacity and higher produc-
tivity. We also plan to add new
alloys with enhanced mechan-
ical proper ties and lower
dens ities to meet our custom-
ers’ weight-reduction chal-
lenges.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE 2013
20
The Automotive Structures and Industry business unit enjoyed a record-breaking year in 2013, and the prospects look promising for further progress in the years ahead, thanks to growing demand for aluminium automotive parts and continuous cost control.
AUTOMOTIVE STRUCTURES AND INDUSTRY
On theright road
Constellium’s Automotive Structures
and Industry business focuses on two
principal areas: automotive Crash
Management Systems (CMS) and
automotive structural parts on the
one hand, and hard and soft alloy
extrusions for automotive, transport,
and industry on the other (machined
ABS parts, along with components
for trucks, rail, buses and coaches).
Aluminium and steel co-extruded
power rails for urban train networks,
where Constellium has a unique
product offering, are a leading in-
dustry application of its innovative
extrusion expertise. Automotive
customers include major European
and American car manufacturers,
and the business unit benefi ts from
a global production footprint in North
America, Europe and China.
The major business driver in the car
market is the growing substitution
of steel with aluminium by original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
enabling automakers to produce cars
that are lighter, more fuel effi cient and
cleaner for the environment. The key
trend is that this switch is no longer
being made solely by the premium car
sector, but also by volume manufac-
turers of trucks and cars. Driven by
new Corporate Average Fuel Economy
(CAFE) regulations, automakers are
increasingly turning to aluminium for
their crash management systems – a
market where Constellium is already
a leading global player. Analysts ex-
pect aluminium to account for 30% of
the CMS market in Europe and nearly
20% in the US by 2018.
A RECORD YEAR
Constellium’s earlier decision to
make automotive a strategic busi-
ness was rewarded in 2013 with a
17% increase in worldwide sales
revenues and production volumes,
based on new model launches by
premium German OEMs. At the same
time, 2013 was a record year for new
business nominations by OEMs –

21
driven by major forward contracts for
the US market. It was also a record
year for capital expenditure invest-
ment by Constellium in the business
unit. In the US, Automotive Struc-
tures and Industry plans to nearly
treble its production capacity to meet
expected volumes over the next few
years. The fi rst tranche of its invest-
ment was made in a new plant at
Van Buren, Michigan. In Europe, well-
executed projects at Gottmadingen,
Singen and Decin are already provid-
ing new production capacity for
customers in our strategic sectors.
The year also saw an aligning of the
asset base with Automotive Struc-
tures and Industry’s core markets,
with the divestment of two plants
in Ham and Saint-Florentin in France
that supplied products for the
construction industry.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Looking ahead, the US will clearly
be a particular focus of business
development, with our new highly-
automated manufacturing facilities
responding to an exceptionally strong
demand from OEMs. In Europe, the
hard alloy business expects to reap
the benefi ts of extra capacity in cast-
ing and a new tube press at Decin,
with increased hard alloy exports
worldwide. China should also contin-
ue to deliver excellent performance,
both in terms of revenue growth and
profitability. And more generally,
Automotive Structures and Industry
will maintain its proven strategy of
developing innovative solutions, such
as the new high-strength CMS tech-
nology, always in close cooperation
with its customers.
What were the highlights of 2013 for Automotive Structures and Industry?It was a very successful year,
with market share and pro-
duction volumes both increas-
ing, while further nominations
from our customers have re-
sulted in record forward order
books. The business unit also
achieved record levels of ad-
justed EBITDA per metric ton
at €311. We invested in new
plant and equipment, with the
highlight being the commis-
sioning of a new €11 million
state-of-the-ar t press at
Singen.
What are the strengths of your business unit?It’s having a lean, knowledge-
able team with the right people
in the right places, so that they
can execute our ambitious
strategy. The proof is that our
business unit expanded last
year, while the European sector
as a whole contracted by 4.6%.
We also have strengths in R&T,
both through Constellium’s
Technology Center and by build-
ing external partnerships, such
as the new lightweight ma-
terials center being created
with London’s Brunel Universi-
ty and Jaguar Land Rover. This
facility will include a full-scale
casting unit and a full-size ex-
trusion press to facilitate rapid
prototyping for our customers.
What are the challenges facing the business?Though Constellium is perform-
ing well, the extrusion industry
is suffering from price pressure.
Labor, energy, regulatory and
raw material costs are also ris-
ing. To mitigate the impact for
our customers, we work hard to
increase, year on year, our pro-
ductivity through operational
excellence and LEAN. In addi-
tion, we continue to develop our
automotive products, which are
more protected, thanks primar-
ily to our advanced technology.
“The right people in the right places” Paul Warton
President, Automotive Structures and Industry

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE 2013
22
Constellium is a leading player in rolled products for the packaging and automotive sectors. Both markets, notably in beverage cans and Body-in-White, are set for growth in the years ahead – albeit at different rates.
PACKAGING AND AUTOMOTIVE ROLLED PRODUCTS
Putting balance into growth
C onstellium’s Packaging
and Automotive Rolled Pro-
ducts business unit serves
two strategic markets:
aluminum beverage cans and Body-
in-White (BiW) – such as hoods, door
panels and roofs – for the automotive
sector. Packaging and Automotive
Rolled Products is well-positioned in
each of these markets, and both have
prospects for future growth. The com-
pany is the no. 1 producer in Europe
of can body stock and the no. 1 world-
wide producer of sheets used for
aluminium closures for bottles. In the
automotive sector, the company’s
customers include renowned car
manufacturers. In addition to these
two main markets, Constellium is also
the largest non-integrated producer
of foilstock in Europe and is the world
leader in aluminium solutions for
bright, functional surfaces. These
range from cosmetics, solar panels and
lighting to decorative automotive parts.
EXPANDING CAPACITY
2013 was a strong year for Packaging
and Automotive Rolled Products,
delivering record EBITDA and cash
flow. Plans were laid for expansion
in the US and Europe, with announce-
ments following in 2014. The latter
reflects a revolution in automotive
materials – with aluminium set to take
signifi cant market share from steel for
BiW parts for an increasing numbers
of cars, including high-volume
models. Driven by the tightening of
Corporate Average Fuel Economy
(CAFE) auto emission standards in
the US, the decision by Ford to use
aluminium in its F-150 pickup truck is
likely to be followed by other major
automakers. Lower emissions are also
a key target of regulators in Europe
and Asia, triggering a mandatory move
to lighter cars.
With OEMs in the US already starting
to convert key models from steel to
aluminum, we believe there will be a
D14051-Rapport_Annuel_2013-Business-FLIP.indd 22 09/06/2014 14:56
CONSTELLIUM
23
signifi cant increase in demand. We
estimate that the US market for BiW
aluminum rolled products could grow
from less than 100,000 metric tons
in 2012 to approximately 1 million
tons in 2020. In Europe, the BiW mar-
ket is expected to grow by about 12%
per year to more than 600,000 metric
tons in 2020.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
To prepare for this anticipated in-
crease in demand, Constellium is
jointly investing $150 million with
Japan’s UACJ Corporation in a new
BiW sheet facility in the US. While
market growth is expected to be
strongest in North America, the com-
pany is also investing up to €200 million
on BiW production at its European
plants over the next three years.
In addition to this expanded plant
capacity, Constellium continues its
relentless focus on innovation. New
alloys that offer enhanced formabil-
ity, strength, surface quality and
crash behavior – all tailored to meet
our customers’ specifi c needs – will
also have an important role to play.
Clearly, automotive offers signifi cant
growth opportunities in the future.
However, aluminium packaging will
continue to provide the bedrock of
the division’s sales volumes moving
forward. The market is growing at a
steady pace in Europe, driven by new
products (e.g. energy drinks) and
formats, as well as market share
gains for aluminium in cans.
“Switching to high-growth mode”Laurent Musy
President, Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products
What were the highlights of 2013 for Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products?In terms of financial perfor-
mance and safet y it was
our best year ever. Our Body-
in-White sales volumes rose
by 24%, showing a trend
that we believe will only accel-
erate – paving the way for
our major investments in
the US and in Europe. In our
plants, we have worked hard
on our LEAN transformation.
We are continuing to make
progress on sustainability,
with record recycling volumes
and we are selling more inno-
vative products.
What are the strengths of your business unit?We have strong relationships
with a diversified customer
base, involving blue-chip com-
panies in packaging, automotive
and other sectors. Our markets
have development potential,
with a good balance between
the stable, steady growth of
packaging and the more dynam-
ic prospects of automotive.
So we are quite happy with
our product portfolio. We also
have a strong industrial base
and world-class R&D. Finally
I consider that the excellent
quality of our relationship with
our Japanese partner UACJ is a
big asset to grow our business
with our joint venture in the US.
What are the challenges facing the business?Our switch to a high-growth
mode in automotive raises
some challenges in terms of
resources and engineering.
However, within a competitive
environment, I firmly believe
that through investment, relent-
less focus on operational excel-
lence, including EHS and LEAN,
and ever-closer relationships
with customers, we can con-
tinue to grow our sales and
profi ts in the years to come.

By focusing on three growth markets – automotive,
aerospace and packaging – Constellium is well-
positioned for the years ahead. Along with their
significant revenue potential, each of these markets
also has a high technological barrier to entry. The
financial performance in 2013 of our three business
units reflects that future potential, thanks to the
world-class quality of our industrial platform and
the expertise of our employees.
Looking ahead, improving our operational efficiency
and fur ther developing our innovation pipeline
are key parts of the company’s strategy. R&D and
innovation are core Constellium strengths, and
the ability to create differentiating new products
is vital in a competitive market. Solid corporate
governance and an unwavering commitment to
safety will also be guiding principles for Constellium
in a business environment where continuous
improvement and sustainability come together.
Together, these elements are delivering a level of
business performance that allows Constellium to
look to the future with confidence.
