Company portrait
Talum, as the contemporary production company, belongs to a narrow range of the most efficient producers of electrolytic aluminium and aluminium alloys in the world. More than 60 years of hard work in Kidričevo nowadays reflects enviable facts: we rank among the top 15 exporters in Slovenia, we produce more than 84.000 tons of aluminium per year and we can pride ourselves that we have hired more than 10.000 employees since the beginning of the production. 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. We have established individual new programmes, which are based on technological applications of aluminium and on industrial design.
