Latest thinking in production
|
Know-how is essential to staying ahead in one of the world's
toughest business. Something we have nourished for numerous
decades. Our commitment to the future can be clearly seen not
only in the continued flourishing of our technology and plant
but equally through new concepts of employee training and
capability.
Production is undertaken at very high
temperatures in modern electric furnaces. It also requires a
good supply of electric power, chrome ores, quartz and reducing
agents in the form of coke or coal.
We have been working
closely with our raw materials suppliers for many years. Our
chrome ores come primarily from Albania, Brazil, Madagascar and
Turkey. At our quarry in nearby Dalsland County, we mine quartz
for ferrosilicon and ferrochrome production. Reduction agents
are purchased mainly from European countries.
Our supply
of vital electric power is secured by long-term contract with a
Swedish power supplier. All these factors form the basis upon
which customers can have full confidence in us for reliability
in delivery, quality and competitiveness. |
