I detta specialavsnitt av Aluminiumpodden firar vi 60 år som företag i Sverige. Det som tidigare var Sapa och numera är Hydro Extrusions firar denna viktiga milstolpe under 2023. Följ med på en resa genom sex decennier fyllda med härliga minnen och spännande insikter om aluminium. Det som började i Vetlanda med några få personer är idag en stor arbetsplats för väldigt många människor. Framför allt är det ett fullt integrerat aluminiumföretag med allt vad det innebär.

Ulrika och Ruth intervjuar intressanta gäster som har jobbat och levt med det här företaget under lång tid. Kort sagt några av experterna och eldsjälarna som har varit med på resan och som likt alla anställda har bidragit med något till vår gemensamma framgång.

I vanlig ordning blir det också en klurig Aluminiumgåta att sätta tänderna i. Kan du klura ut svaret den här gången?

Hurra för omtanke, mod och samarbete.

Avsnitt 12 av Aluminiumpodden bjuder på en rad spännande saker. Podden kickstartar med en intervju med Jessica Björkqvist på Scania om en unik ellastbil. En lastbil som nu används för att transportera aluminiumprofiler mellan Hydros olika fabriker i Vetlanda. Denna imponerande pjäs på 40 ton är en del av ett initiativ som heter Scania Pilot Partner. Satsningen bygger på att Scania vill fälttesta ny teknik tillsammans med sina kunder innan delar av tekniken går till serieproduktion. Lastbilen körs av Hagéns Åkeri, ett lokalt åkeri som har lång erfarenhet av att köra Scania.

Avsnittet bjuder också på en intervju med Innovation & Technology, Hydros eget forskningscenter i Finspång. Ämnet är hållbarhet och hur I&T stöttar Hydro Extrusions övergripande arbete. Dessutom avslöjar vi vilka som vann Svenskt Aluminiums designtävling. Vi kan nu också stolt presentera uppdateringen av Hydros konstruktörshandbok, troligtvis den bästa och mest omfattande guiden i branschen om hur man designar med aluminium. Den nya utgåvan av Extrusion Design Manual hittar du på hydro.com.

Och så blir det en ny klurig Aluminiumgåta förstås.
