Shapes How AI is changing the geometry of aluminium extrusions By Anders Nesse Jun 26, 2025 Artificial intelligence shows us that optimal design is not always what you’d intuitively expect.
Shapes Automotive manufacturers can enhance consumer appeal with low-carbon recycled aluminum By Helen Weykamp Jun 25, 2025 In addition to low cost, mass reduction and performance, automotive OEMs are now asking for sustainable materials from their suppliers.
Shapes Why keeping scrap aluminum home for recycling is good business By Duncan Pitchford May 09, 2025 This we know: Producing primary aluminum is energy-intensive, recycling aluminum is not energy-intensive, and aluminum is infinitely recyclable. So why are we sending away more than twice our annual primary aluminum output in scrap metal instead of keeping and recycling it here at home – and creating jobs in the process? Good question, especially because there is a business opportunity. We have work to do.
Stories by Hydro Hydro Rackwitz: 100 years young and more to give By Jens Christian Boysen, Communication Manager, Hydro Aluminium Metal Jun 24 2025 Construction, destruction, reconstruction. World war, cold war and peace. Hydro’s sister aluminium plants in Rackwitz have essentially seen it all since 1925, and the 100 year old production site is not done yet.
Automotive engine mounts By May 20 2025 Aluminium plays a pivotal role in the design and build of modern vehicles. The materials unique properties and versatility enable many applications to benefit from using aluminium, with engine mount assemblies being no different. While we often associate aluminium with large structural components or decorative trims, vital parts like engine brackets and cradles can be perfectly suited to aluminium and the extrusion process.
Components for buses By May 06 2025 Material choice plays a key role in the design, development and manufacturing of modern buses. Utilizing the benefits of aluminium and extrusion can enable buses to become lighter, safer, more recyclable and more efficient in the production phase. With extensive production capabilities, extruded profiles from Hydro can serve the base for a variety of structural applications in buses.
