Gränges has reportedly received the Provisional Performance Standard Certification from Aluminium Stewardship Initiative for casting and rolling operations at its Finspång AB plant in Sweden. The facility has been producing rolled strips and sheets of aluminium destined for the automotive sector. It currently has an annual production capacity of 100,000 tonnes.

The news came today, on February 18, after the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative announced that it certified the Gränges facility in Finspång with Provisional Certification under the ASI Interim Policy regarding Audits, Audit-Related Travel and Coronavirus.
Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We warmly congratulate Gränges on achieving ASI Performance Standard Certification with Provisional status at their Finspång plant, now the company’s second certified operation. The rolled products for heat exchanger materials that the plant produces play a central role in the thermal management of today’s electric and hybrid vehicles. Gränges’ ASI Certifications demonstrate to their automotive customers that the company is committed to responsible production.”
Torbjörn Sternsjö, Gränges President in Europe, said: “Achieving this ASI certification is an important milestone in our ambitious sustainability agenda and an important achievement in our work to constantly develop a broader and more sustainable customer offering. The certification verifies that our aluminium products are produced responsibly and sustainably and provides assurance to our customers and other business partners that we are committed to meeting their increased sustainability requirements and demand for sustainable aluminium. This is a first step towards being able to offer ASI certified aluminium.”
The independent, third-party audit of the Gränges Finspång AB facility was carried out by DNV GL.
