Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, 
 
If you are exhibiting at ALUMINIUM Düsseldorf, there is one chance you do not want to miss: the ALUMINIUM Innovation Awards, putting a spotlight on your newest ideas. Nominations are still open until 31 July. 
 
Primetals Technologies finished an automation upgrade for a hot finishing mill at Ulsan Aluminum. The project enhances IT security and reduces operating costs. 
 
In Ireland, criticism of Aughinish Alumina is growing. As an investigative project reports, the alumina refinery has increasingly exported alumina to Russia since 2022. Alicia Barth has summarised the key points of the case. 
 
Best regards
Harald Klieber
