Odlewnia Kutno: Quality That Starts at the Core

At Odlewnia Kutno – a proud member of our Group – every cast iron product begins its journey through a carefully designed cleaning process, a key stage in achieving the highest quality standards.

This commitment at every step ensures that the final products are reliable, durable, and ready to perform in even the most demanding conditions.

Education and Innovation – visitors in Re Alloys

Education and Innovation – visitors in Re Alloys

Earlier this week our company, Re Alloys, hosted 4 groups of first-graders of the Warsaw Liceum Artes Liberales high school. It was already their second visit at Re Alloys.

Once again, the smelting processes and unique industrial scenery made a huge impression on the guests from the capital city This time, the students were accompanied by one of the school principals, Jarek Szulski.

The school’s motto is The school is everywhere. Everything is a lesson. It may not have been a coincidence they returned to Re Alloys – a plant producing ferrosilicon, as their philosophy is based on “Protein and Silicon” – combination of conscious social relationships coupled with simultaneous use of new technologies for educational purposes. In other words, technology helps them free up space to accomplish various tasks, including building peer relationships.

At Re Alloys, we believe that innovation and education go hand in hand and they create a bright future for our communities. Company is delighted to be part of this journey and prove that ferrosilicon has more in common with building tomorrow than it may appear.

Students at Saga Poland

Students at Saga Poland

In January, our company, Saga Poland had an opportunity to host students of the Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology. Two groups of students of the Mechanics and Machines Construction major had a chance to see for themselves how the production processes look. They study theory of those processes at their university.

The tour was organised within the Foundry course hours and its main aim was to present what the pressure casting process is like, both in cold and hot chambers. Those processes are standard fare for Saga ’s workers, but for the students of 3rd semester – it is an interesting novelty.

Young people could hear about the industrial reality and get familiar with Saga’s business activity. They could also observe impressive processes: machining on CNCs, surface treatment, and cataphoretic painting. The cherry on the cake was the possibility to watch closely how the castings quality control equipment, such as coordinate-measuring machine or industrial X-ray, work.

We believe the visit at Saga Poland was an inspiration for the students and introduction to their future careers at the foundry industry. We are glad we can actively support the education system in forging skills needed at the labour market!
