Alcoa, together with the Alcoa Foundation, announced today that Alcoa has become a founding member of the Duke Center for Sustainability & Commerce, an organization dedicated to collaborating with industry and government to turn the vision of sustainability into products and solutions serving society.

The center is part of Duke’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, a non-partisan institute focused on finding solutions to the nation’s most pressing environmental challenges. It was established at Duke University in 2010.Silver Ore Grinding Mill

"The Duke Center’s focus on collaboration and innovation fits well with Alcoa’s approach to developing products and solutions that contribute to a sustainable world," said Kevin Anton, Alcoa’s Chief Sustainability Officer. "Working together, we can help communities and companies develop sustainable strategies to meet rapidly growing demand for infrastructure and transportation created by increasing population and urbanization."

Anton will join the center’s Industry Council, an advisory panel for research and outreach.

Alcoa Foundation President Paula Davis said the Center’s research plays an important role in turning concepts into reality.

"The research depth of Duke University along with the expertise of the Center’s business partners creates a powerful combination," Ms. Davis said. "We are pleased to be part of this effort and look forward to the advancements in sustainable communities that will result."

Through its research, the Center is leading efforts to create a new generation of technological and organizational innovations to meet global sustainability challenges. It is led by Dr. Jay S. Golden who founded and co-directed the Sustainability Consortium prior to joining Duke.

"Alcoa has a long history of innovation that has led to great successes in their operations and product designs," said Golden. "Our partnership with Alcoa will provide us a key manufacturing perspective from an organization whose products are critical to global commerce."Barite Ore Crusher

The investment will enable MST to further reinforce its customer service offering in its current core markets of Australia, the United States and Canada and enable further expansion into rapidly growing resources markets including Africa, South America and China. MST has experienced strong growth in recent years and the investment from Macquarie will support the next phase of MST’s continued international and product expansion.

"Macquarie’s investment in MST gives us great confidence in being able to truly position ourselves as the leading global OEM of network and communications infrastructure for the world’s largest mining organisations. It will enable us to continue to roll out our proven sales and service support infrastructure in key markets and expand our sales capabilities to current and new customers across the globe," said Gary Zamel, Founder and Managing Director of MST.

MST will pursue an expansion strategy that incorporates both organic investment into current core markets and potential acquisitions to build market presence, technology innovation and resource capabilities over the coming twelve to twenty four months.Magnetite Crusher
