Case
Gränges is engaged in many exciting projects. Read some of the stories from 2023 where employees, together with customers and partners, paved the way for sustainable growth.
Gränges’ USD 33 million investment in the expansion of its aluminum recycling and casting capacity in Huntingdon, Tennessee, was completed in early 2023. Already during the first year in operation, it contributed significantly to increased recycling, lower cost, lower working capital, and an improved carbon footprint.

In 2023, Gränges formed a joint venture with Shandong Innovation Group (SIG), for a new recycling and casting operation in Yunnan, China. When fully operational, the company is expected to have a significant positive on the Group's carbon footprint.
To meet the strong demand from the growing battery industry, Gränges has invested in cathode foil production in all regions. In the Navigate plan, Gränges aims to invest in sustainable markets and customers and the battery market fits right into this strategy.

Not only are the safety weeks full of useful activities, but they are also important driver of the safety culture. This year, the sites in Konin, Finspång and Shanghai, had dedicated weeks. However, since safety has high priority for Gränges, awareness is part of everyone’s responsibility, every day, in every shift.
Polestar 0 is a project with the ambition to create a truly climate-neutral car by 2030 through innovative collaborations. Gränges is committed to drive the development of circular and sustainable solutions towards net-zero. The partnership with Polestar 0 project, formed in 2023, is now in an intensive initial development phase with focus on battery components and the thermal management system.
