Welcome to our 20th Gold Nugget. We welcome Lars-Inge “Linge” Arwidson from the Swedish Aluminium Association in this episode. We expand our discussion from the foundry industry to the aluminium industry in general. We talk about the sustainability of primary aluminium and the available scrap streams for secondary aluminium. Origin makes a bit of a difference; we talk about Russian, Chinese, and European aluminium. Our main topic is the new CBAM regulation and how it is a huge opportunity for companies within the EU.
As usual, we end this episode with tips and tricks for young people who want to enter the aluminium or foundry industry. Marketing is key here, and it is required from both sides of the hiring process.

This podcast is about how to make money in the foundry industry. Is there any money, or is it just squeezing everyone to save cents? So, we're not talking about properties, microstructures, atoms, or casting parameters. We want to speak to everyone in the industry.
We'll see you in the comment section, or you can hear us again in our next interview on May 23rd!
Best regards,
Staffan and Fabian
