About us

---

Talum, as the contemporary production company, belongs to a narrow range of the most efficient producers of primary aluminium and aluminium alloys in the world. More than 65 years of hard work in Kidričevo nowadays reflects enviable facts: we rank among the top 10 exporters in Slovenia, we produce 50.000 tons of primary aluminium per year and produce more than 110.000 tons of commodity production of aluminium product. Sustainable development of the TALUM Group is based on increasing the volume and complexity of products and services, improving productivity and efficiency, and ensuring the highest quality with an emphasis on safe and healthy work, environmental protection, efficient use of energy and protection of information. With the intensive restructuring of our production, today in Talum we produce more and more products with higher added value. Our highest competitive advantage lies in the products of the highest quality, and in the knowledge, creativity and ambitions of our employees.

Closeness of the employees with the factory, mutual understanding and cooperation, and trust are the key values, which have helped us in realising developmental goals and strategies on our way. Significant cornerstones of our successfulness, which help us in achieving our visions and goals, are coordinated and efficient achievements, creating synergies and cooperation with external partners, and the culture of the achievement. Beside the fact that clients, suppliers and other business partners trust us, we still have many a thing, which places us among the best ones – boldness and commitment of our employees.

Foundations are seen in technically perfective production processes, which are upgraded by strategic trends, that follow energetically efficient and environment-friendly production. A significant foundation of our growth is also a development of castings production. We do not deal only with low-pressure and gravity casting, but we have entered a field of high-pressure casting. In a field of slugs and discs, regarding a tubes’ and conatainers’ programme, we rank among the biggest and technologically most progressive producers in the world.

Our own development, production and marketing of technological equipment represents an important direction, which basis on integration of accumulated technological knowledge and experience. We develop products, materials and technological solutions in our own Research and Innovation Centre in cooperation with external partners.

At work, we keep testing new methods and approaches, and we perform this with great deal of energy, teamwork and by creating conditions, which enable us to recognise opportunities and quickly react to challenges. We have conquered a concept of quality, which means much more than just a set of technical features of the product. Moreover, the quality enables us to be successful on the increasingly demanding markets.

Each one of us treats and manage the sources that we deal with as a prudent master, wherein we are aware of the responsibility we have towards customers, owners, broader and immediate environment, and towards one another. We want to reduce traces of the aluminium production as much as possible and to take care of the efficient treatment system regarding the environment.

We are aware that we are able to turn to our own advantage the constant changes on the global markets and their restructures, which are the driving force of our progress. With our own persistence, courage and readiness for new challenges we have already been trying to continue and to realise our joint goals, to form the future and to enable aluminium to remain the metal of the future.
