the energy costs involved in melting it make up most of our expenses . Thus , CastAlum has always sought more energy efficient processes , driven not only by sound business practices but also by our dedication to fostering a cleaner environment . Throughout our 24-year journey , we have continually invested in new technologies to achieve our sustainability goals . We consistently upgrade our lighting to better technology whenever it becomes available , even before it becomes necessary . Furthermore , we are constantly evaluating how we can improve our internal processes , for instance by focusing on saving water . Interestingly , CastAlum manufactures aluminum car parts which were previously deemed impossible to produce from aluminum . By doing so , we contribute to creating more lightweight and sustainable vehicles . It is worth noting that most of the aluminum we use is recycled , highlighting our role in championing the circular economy . I believe this is the perfect loop which makes
our products infinitely sustainable . This is especially significant considering that over 75 percent of all the aluminum ever produced is still in use today , making it one of the most recycled materials on the planet ,” he continues .
Before concluding our conversation , Karl unveils CastAlum ’ s plans for the remainder of the year . “ 2024 marks one of our busiest years ever in terms of sales . To keep up with this increased demand , we are set to introduce several new programs , tooling enhancements , and product sampling . Behind the scenes , we are also working hard to support these initiatives . Consequently , we need to hire additional personnel and provide them with extensive training . Lastly , we will also be focused on upskilling our workforce , as we value their expertise and long-term commitment to CastAlum ,” he ends . ■
