THINK AHEAD.

THINK BIG.

We want to offer the absolute best and most efficient products there are. That is why we put a lot of metallurgical effort in sourcing, adjusting and even producing the products. As we see it quality means predictability, efficient production and low environmental impact in comparison.

How we work together

We have collaborated with a bunch of different companies and industries over the years. Here are a few.

The future of recycled residues

As scrap is becoming the new ore, the world needs a solution that ensures all residues are taken care of in the best possible way.

Briquette based on four raw materials

Some residues are more difficult to find benefits for, than others. But in order to reduce the need for virgin raw materials, Eramet teamed up with us to find a greener solution for their ferroalloy production.

How to make waste saleable and sustainable

This partnership shows that it is possible to help a customer turn a by-product into a saleable product, while making our industry more sustainable, and reducing impact on the environment and the natural resources, at the same time.

Where to find us

We have our own facility in Västerås, on the shore of the beautiful lake Mälaren. It is a strategic location in many ways, as it enables us to deliver large volumes at short notice.
