Aluminum Facade Panels – Premium Cast Solutions by ASUZAC ACM
Aluminum facade panels remain one of the most widely specified cladding materials in contemporary architecture and infrastructure worldwide — from high-rise commercial towers and mixed-use developments to university campuses, transportation terminals, cultural landmarks and luxury hospitality projects.
When architects, developers and building owners choose aluminum facade panels, they typically look for a system that balances:
- modern aesthetics & design flexibility
- proven long-term durability in demanding climates
- minimal maintenance over decades
- favorable lifecycle economics (avoiding expensive recoating, repair or replacement)
- strong sustainability credentials (recyclability + low embodied carbon)
Among all aluminum facade panel technologies, precision-cast aluminum panels stand out when the project requires:
- the largest possible monolithic / seamless formats
- deepest 3D relief, parametric textures or culturally meaningful patterns
- perfect surface quality for maximum coating adhesion and longevity
- monolithic structural behavior (no internal weak points or visible joints)
ASUZAC ACM is widely regarded as one of the world’s most respected specialists in this premium category.

ASUZAC ACM – Japan’s Leading Aluminum Casting Manufacturer
ASUZAC ACM is a 100% Japanese-owned company under the ASUZAC Group (founded 1946). The company operates its advanced production facility in Vietnam, combining Japanese engineering standards with efficient large-scale manufacturing.
ASUZAC ACM is best known for its proprietary V-Process Technology — a vacuum-assisted precision casting method developed in Japan in 1972 — that produces aluminum facade panels with:
- mirror-smooth surface finish (Ra < 0.4 μm achievable)
- zero internal porosity
- exceptional dimensional accuracy (±0.2 mm tolerance possible on large panels)
- ability to create large monolithic formats (up to 3000×1500 mm and larger) and complex 3D reliefs in single pieces
All facade panels are finished exclusively with AAMA 2605-compliant premium PPG coatings — the global benchmark for architectural aluminum longevity — ensuring:
- color change ≤5 ΔE
- chalk rating ≤8
- film integrity after 10 years of intense South Florida-equivalent exposure
This combination of V-Process casting + PPG AAMA 2605 coatings is why ASUZAC ACM aluminum facade panels consistently deliver 30–50+ year service life with near-zero maintenance — making them exceptionally cost-efficient over the full lifecycle of any architectural project.
Why Cast Aluminum Facade Panels Are Cost-Efficient & Suitable for Harsh Weather
Once a building is constructed, facade maintenance or replacement becomes one of the most expensive and logistically challenging items — requiring scaffolding, access permits, tenant/worker disruption, labor, materials and project downtime.
ASUZAC ACM cast aluminum facade panels address this reality head-on:
- Proven durability in harsh weather — PPG AAMA 2605 coatings + marine-grade aluminum alloy withstand extreme cold, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, intense UV, high humidity, salt spray and pollution without rusting, fading or chalking
- Near-zero maintenance — hose off occasionally; no repainting, no corrosion repair, no panel replacement for decades
- Lifecycle cost-efficiency — higher initial investment is offset many times over by avoiding recurring maintenance budgets and costly facade refurbishments 10–20 years later
- Monolithic construction — large seamless panels reduce joints (primary leak & failure points), speed installation and create cleaner, more modern lines
- Sustainability & circularity — 100% recyclable aluminum + low-VOC coatings align with green building standards worldwide
These factors make cast aluminum facade panels from ASUZAC ACM especially attractive for owners and investors who want buildings that look pristine year after year with the lowest possible long-term cost.
Landmark ASUZAC ACM Aluminum Facade Projects
Ho Chi Minh City Metro Line 1 – Ben Thanh Market Station (opened 2024, fully operational 2026)
This flagship urban infrastructure project features large monolithic cast aluminum panels (W1469 × H4860 × D60 mm) supplied by ASUZAC ACM surrounding the cooling tower at Ben Thanh Market Station — the central hub of Vietnam’s first urban metro line.
The panels’ complex circular breathable pattern simultaneously:
- provides critical airflow for cooling equipment
- blocks unwanted views into technical areas
- creates a modern, rhythmic landmark aesthetic
Coating: PPG high-durability fluororesin system — proven performance in demanding urban conditions.
Kogakuin University of Technology & Engineering – Hachioji Campus (Tokyo, Japan)
One of Japan’s most ambitious educational facade projects: over 15,000 m² of custom cast aluminum exterior wall panels. The seamless wave-textured design creates a dynamic “breathing” effect across the campus while meeting Japan’s strict seismic, wind-load and long-term durability requirements.
Coating: PPG DURANAR® 70% PVDF liquid system – exceptional color & gloss retention in Tokyo’s variable climate.
Showa Women’s University (Tokyo, Japan)
ASUZAC ACM supplied custom cast aluminum facade elements for this landmark educational institution, featuring intricate patterns that blend tradition with contemporary design.
The panels contribute to a visually striking and durable exterior that reflects the university’s commitment to innovation and heritage.
Coating: PPG premium system ensuring long-term beauty and resistance.
Hibiya Arcade (Tokyo, Japan)
This prestigious commercial arcade project includes ASUZAC ACM cast aluminum facade accents and decorative panels that enhance the arcade’s elegant, high-end atmosphere.
The cast elements provide both aesthetic refinement and structural reliability in a busy urban setting.
Coating: PPG AAMA 2605-compliant finish for lasting performance in central Tokyo conditions.
These four projects demonstrate ASUZAC ACM’s ability to deliver technically complex, visually striking, and exceptionally durable aluminum facade panels across different building types and climates.
