Hydro has opened an aluminium research lab in Sweden to test new types of alloys and their extrudability for eventual use in applications that are innovative and which can help customers reduce their carbon footprint. The Extrusion Test Centre is adjacent to Hydro’s product application lab in Finsp?ng, and includes a new aluminium extrusion preB and metal casting facilities. The investment extends and complements the company’s global research and product application capabilities toward the growing market for sustainable aluminium solutions. "Research and application development has always been one of our strong points as a supplier of innovative aluminium solutions, and with sustainability now the key word in our industry, we need to speed these efforts to meet market needs,” says Egil Hogna, who is responsible for Hydro’s Extruded Solutions division.
