KARMØY PROJECT The flames are out of furnace in Hydro’s aluminum plant in Rogaland. Down on the concrete floor drips scorching aluminum at 750 degrees. The staff of Rogaland, including Jan Inge Sorensen (48), has seen many of his colleagues disappear in recent years.
After several years with downsizing and cost cutting, Hydro around 200 new employees if the company manages to establish a full-scale research center in Rogaland. It is much appreciated by the employees, who lost 600 of about 1300 employees in the period 2008-2011.
– It has been quite frustrating working here in recent years. I felt that I had the knife at his throat, says Sorensen (48), a process operator in the rolling mill.
A large, empty gravel space is all that is left of the old Soderberg plant, which was closed in 2009. On this plot Hydro wants to build a research facility to develop a new energy efficient technology in aluminum production.
