Dominance of spreadsheets I’m not exaggerating when spreadsheets have been the de facto tool for number crunching in aluminium manufacturing. Whether it’s a budget forecast, a process calculation, or a metal chemical composition, a spreadsheet is usually the format for storing and sharing both the data and the calculation logic. Why are spreadsheets so popular? […]
Sustainable packaging is no longer a mere trend; it’s an essential cornerstone of modern consumerism. Consumers are increasingly demanding eco-friendly solutions. Aluminium has emerged as a front-runner. It has revolutionised how brands present their products. Its advantages are manifold, from protection to aesthetics. This makes aluminium a vital part of modern branding. Unlike other materials, […]
It is estimated that 95 per cent of a product’s environmental impact is caused by its packaging. As sustainability practices are becoming an integral part of modern business and manufacturing, it is time to focus on making eco-friendly packaging, which is good for the product and the environment. Talking about sustainable packaging brings us to […]

RUSAL, one of the world’s largest aluminium producers, is nearing the completion of a significant project to establish a fleet of rotary furnaces designed for recycling aluminium scrap on an industrial scale. This initiative is part of RUSAL’s commitment to producing aluminium with minimal carbon emissions, backed by a $12.5 million investment. RUSAL has already […]
I stumbled into the aluminium rather by accident. My first job in an aluminium smelter: As I was driving on the highway through the Alps on a snowboarding trip, I passed a large aluminium plant by the little French town Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. At that time, I was an Erasmus student looking for an industrial internship to […]
Industry 4.0 is currently one of the most talked about topics in the aluminium industry, with elements such as automation, robotics, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial intelligence (AI) leading the way towards the future of aluminium manufacturing. Globally the aluminium industry has now started keeping sustainability at the top of […]
