Shortly after the acquisition of Hueck by Hydro a significant investment has already been announced Following the takeover of the long-established Lüdenscheid-based company Hueck by the Norwegian corporation Hydro ASA which now operates under the name Hydro Extrusion According to the regional government of Arnsberg Hydro plans to expand its aluminum smelting plant A permit application under the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (UVPG) has been submitted The project includes the construction of a 1,200 square meter scrap yard with a capacity of 1,400 tons as well as a 600 square meter enclosure in front of one of the casting halls the facility will be equipped with an exhaust filter and chimney The operating hours will also be extended to allow for four-shift operations environmental impact studies have been conducted which indicate that the project will not have significant negative environmental effects Hydro plans to complete the investment by the end of 2024 Plant Manager of Hydro Extrusion Lüdenscheid expressed confidence that the timeline will be met the facility will be able to process more recycled material meeting the growing demand for recycled aluminum and supporting sustainable production I would like to receive the bi-weekly Foundry-Planet newsletter with all latest news Plus the special newsletters – all can be cancelled anytime and at no cost uto industry jobs have long been the lifeblood of the German town of Luedenscheid but now the sector's woes have sparked fears it will turn into an "open-air industrial museum" Insolvencies and layoffs have cast doubt on the town's future prosperity echoing wider anxieties in Europe's biggest economy as it heads toward February 23 elections Politicians are scrambling for answers on how to turn around the export-led economy which has shrunk for the past two years and faces strong headwinds from China and the United States a town of 70,000 in Germany's Ruhr industrial heartland the mood is glum after autoparts-maker Gerhardi filed for bankruptcy in November threatening its 1,500 employees with redundancy has already relocated hundreds of jobs to eastern Europe and the future is uncertain for those who remain "I'm too young to retire but too old to find another job," said Petra Baensch who has worked for 20 years as a quality control technician at the firm "It's a terrifying situation." The IG Metall union's local representative Fabien Ferber said that the region's industry "has been promising prosperity to workers for generations" but that this is "collapsing like a house of cards" He said last year about 1,000 jobs were lost among the region's car suppliers which make everything from electronic widgets to plastic body parts Ferber said many workers fear the town could be "transformed into the world's largest open-air industrial museum" Some have voiced similar concerns about the wider German economy rattling off long lists of both cyclical and structural problems German industry has been battered by high energy prices sparked by Russia's war in Ukraine as well as rising Chinese competition even as demand for German exports has fallen in the world's second-biggest economy Germany's flagship auto industry has been hit hard as its world-famous brands have been slower than Chinese newcomers in the electric vehicle (EV) race Industrial titan Volkswagen announced plans in December to cut 35,000 jobs in the coming years after a months-long industrial dispute Critics also blame years of underinvestment in German infrastructure for trains that no longer run on time patchy internet connectivity and a dearth of EV charging stations An ageing society has caused a shortage of skilled labor and threatens a growing pension burden for the country of 82 million There are bright spots -- global corporate giants including Allianz SAP and Siemens helped push the blue-chip DAX stock index to an all-time high this week But deeper fears grip a country that has been dominant in 20th century sectors such as combustion engine cars and machinery but has few big players among the world's electronics "The dire state of the German economy" is a key election issue who pointed out that it was now the same size as in early 2020 "marking five years of de facto stagnation" deteriorating competitiveness and China's shift from export destination to fierce industrial competitor have taken –- and will continue to take –- their toll on the German economy," he said Angry discord on how to fix the economy and a tight budget helped break up Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition candidates are offering rival visions on rebuilding the "Made in Germany" brand Looming over the race is the return of US President Donald Trump who has voiced ire about the German trade surplus and threatened tariffs German officials fear his protectionist policies could theoretically slash Germany's GDP by one percent and destroy 300,000 jobs Mayor Sebastian Wagemeyer of Scholz's Social Democrats said the malaise had boosted local support for the far-right Alternative for Germany which is polling at around 20 percent nationally "This region is a barometer of what's going on in the country," Wagemeyer said it has repercussions for the whole of Germany."

for you Teenage prodigy Joao Fonseca claimed his maiden Challenger title in Lexington with his 18th birthday coming later this month during US Open qualifying Another first-time champion this week was Raphael Collignon in Luedenscheid while more experienced competitors like Hugo Dellien and Alexandre Muller also claimed trophies Denmark’s August Holmgren grabbed his 2nd Challenger title across his last three events August Holmgren has been on fire recently, winning ten matches in a row to pick up an M25 title in Nottingham and then his maiden Challenger crown in Pozoblanco The Dane got some space to rest with an early loss in Segovia and was back to his best in Porto He took down the two Kazakh stars in Timofey Skatov and Mikhail Kukushkin on the way to the final with the latter match being quite an incredible show Holmgren won 6-7(6) 7-5 7-6(5) in 3 hours and 10 minutes saving one match point at 2-5 30-40 in the 3rd set Holmgren recovered well from the semifinal marathon and was executing his patterns with good efficiency again The kick serve was pretty bouncy in the hot conditions and it allowed him to set up the inside-in forehand most of the time Moro Canas fought well and even led 4-2 in the second set but overall second-best as Holmgren claimed his 2nd Challenger title 7-6 7-6 and will find himself deep inside the Top 200 The Dane will now rest for a week before playing in Kozerki in two weeks while Moro Canas probably won’t appear anywhere until the US Open qualifying The bounce-back season from Chun-Hsin Tseng just keeps on giving as the Taiwanese made his fourth Challenger final of 2024 The week before San Marino he was also a lucky loser into the Umag ATP 250 draw At this event he didn’t really run into trouble until the semifinals with Francisco Comesana first going up a set Tseng held firm and started getting close to the Top 100 in the ATP Race by the time he made the final Alexandre Muller is back to being on the verge of the Top 100 but it feels like he is a little bit above the Challenger level anytime he shows up now (and that’s despite losing to Jesper de Jong in the opening round in Sassuolo the last time he played before San Marino) The Frenchman was in dominant form in San Marino not dropping a set on the way to the final Only Remy Bertola took him to a tie-break in the second set of their first-round clash It was a nice battle in the final as both players enjoy a similar rhythm off the ground excelling especially in fast-paced baseline patterns Muller’s stronger weight of shot led to him being the attacker in most rallies but it’s not like Tseng wasn’t in his element using the opponent’s power Eventually the Frenchman just kept coming despite blown leads and took the win claiming his 3rd Challenger title 6-3 4-6 7-6 He is back in the Top 80 and will return to action in Cary in two weeks while Tseng is also going to rest now but play Santo Domingo in that slot on the calendar Botic van de Zandschulp took the post-Wimbledon clay route after being on the verge of falling out of the Top 100 but earned plenty of points with his Braunschweig final run he blew a 4-0 lead in the deciding set against Mika Brunold to go out in the opening round But this time it was the Dutchman who was the comeback king erasing 0-2 and 0-3 deficits in third sets against Gerard Campana Lee and Henri Squire Van de Zandschulp’s forehand was the heaviest shot on court as he went up 6-3 2-0 and was also defending extremely well As the match got closer and the errors stopped coming Gradually he started getting pushed back behind the baseline and it was Collignon who claimed his 1st Challenger title 3-6 6-4 6-3 He finds himself near the Top 200 with 0 points to defend until the end of 2024 which means he’s pretty much a lock for the Australian Open already Van de Zandschulp hopes to get into Cincinnati qualifying soon while Collignon will play the qualifying in Bonn this time choosing a different route and venturing to Liberec instead Elmer Moller made his maiden Challenger final in Augsburg in May The Dane’s results got a bit more shaky after that run (particularly at the Challenger level) but he pretty much demolished his first three opponents in Liberec not dropping more than five games in a set The semifinal ended up being much more of a thrill ride as in his second match that day Moller defeated Nicolas Moreno de Alboran 7-6(6) in the 3rd set Moller’s ability to scramble for balls on the defense was giving Dellien plenty of trouble He couldn’t quite put him away and the dropshots weren’t enough to wrap up points so the Dane could easily turn points around The physical edge built up on the previous day when Moller had to endure that long three-setter with Moreno de Alboran started increasing though Dellien utilized it perfectly and claimed his 12th Challenger title 5-7 6-4 6-1 He will play in Bonn next while Moller is set to appear in an M25 in Muttenz in two weeks It had been a while since Li Tu last made a huge impact at the Challenger level (only quarterfinal of the season came back in February) and things weren’t looking particularly bright for him in Lexington either when he lost the opening set to Taha Baadi in the first round But that’s when the Australian suddenly found his best stuff again The win over James Kent Trotter matched his Burnie result from the start of the year with Tu going on to defeat young talents Emilio Nava and Coleman Wong Tu pulled off a big upset to win his only Challenger title in Seoul 2022 turning on turbo mode and grinding down Yibing Wu with incredible athleticism and intensity But Fonseca just didn’t give him that chance on Sunday He was in control from the get-go and didn’t display any of the teenage inconsistency that can plague his game from time to time The Brazilian picked up his 1st Challenger title 6-1 6-4 He will now rest a week before appearing in Cary just before US Open qualifying while Tu tries to keep the momentum going in Lincoln Main Photo Credit: Imago Images Photo by Corinne Dubreuil It promises to be an exciting opening day of WTA Rome action ATP Masters 1000 Rome 1/64-Finals Diallo –

cogeneration plant have proven to deliver enough energy to power a whole factory and save huge amounts of CO2 the solar-powered plant at ABB’s Busch-Jaeger subsidiary in Lüdenscheid has generated 721,980 kWH – which equates to a carbon saving of 375 tons during the first five months of operations The project is part of ABB’s Mission to Zero and a proof-of-concept that it is possible to build and run a zero emissions factory the installed ABB technology can generate enough power to run the whole factory and even feed energy into the grid Whenever the on-site solutions can’t cover a peak in energy demand additional green energy is sourced from MVV Energie AG which guarantees 100 percent CO2-neutral production “This flagship project serves as proof that even in industrial settings it is possible to reduce carbon emissions all the way to zero,” says Tarak Mehta President of the Electrification business at ABB “This scalable blue-print marks the beginning of an exciting revolution for electrification; one which will transform not only industry but individual homes up to large cities into safe Powering the Lüdenscheid factory is an array of photovoltaic solar panels that cover approx 7,300 square metres and – to save space – are installed on the roofs covering the on-site car park The system is expected to deliver around 1,100 MWh of climate-neutral solar power a year which is about as much as the annual demand from 340 private households There is also a cogeneration plant on site which has double the energy efficiency of a traditional coal-fired power plant the Lüdenscheid factory can generate around 14 percent more energy on site than it actually needs Any surplus power is fed into the public grid contributing to the region’s power supply with sustainably produced energy The technological centrepiece of the entire system in Lüdenscheid is the scalable energy management system OPTIMAX® from the ABB AbilityTM Energy Management for Sites suite The digital solution provides for the constant surveillance and optimum control of energy production consumption and storage and operates largely autonomously This learning system calculates the optimum energy flow on the basis of predictive data and compensates for deviations in real time MVV and ABB are cooperating to share solutions for the sustainable improvement of energy efficiency in industry medium-sized companies and municipalities – all designed to create viable smart city concepts The cooperation between the two companies is not only about the avoidance of CO2 emissions and the economic marketing of available flexibilities in the energy sector but also about the design of future cities through innovative technologies such as storage solutions and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles ABB installed not just a new energy management system and the photovoltaic system with inverters but integrated other ABB technologies like a battery energy storage system (BESS) with an output of 200 kW and a capacity of 275 kWh where staff and visitors can charge their electric vehicles free of charge which adds to the factory’s regional eco-balance This single-source energy management solution is rounded off by smart switchgear for energy distribution The flagship site is expected to save about 630 tonnes of CO2 a year in total The Lüdenscheid factory itself is a typical industrial site manufacturing products for electrical installation ABB offers products and services that make a decisive contribution toward greater sustainability in industry Over half of ABB's worldwide revenues are generated by technologies that combat the causes of climate change The company’s goal is to increase this contribution from 57 percent in 2018 to 60 percent by 2020 ABB's
