One particularly outstanding project in which ARKU was recently involved was the processing (leveling) of copper sheets for the new headquarters of JP Morgan Chase in Manhattan, NY. These copper sheets were to serve as architectural elements in the form of facade parts for the imposing new skyscraper. Albert Reiss explains why precisely flattened sheets are important for the facades, stating that any unevenness would be easily visible in the direct sun and ruin the aesthetics of the building. Thanks to ARKU's expertise, all flatness imperfections were removed from the copper sheets to ensure an aesthetically flawless appearance.
