Alleima’s position as a materials innovator and technology leader is based on three main strategic themes: strengthening the product offering for growing industries, preserving and developing the core business, and expanding the materials portfolio to meet future needs.

Alleima’s research and development aims to solve complex challenges with advanced materials together with customers. As the world changes, new and higher demands are placed on the products of the future, including:

  • Lighter and stronger materials for improved performance and durability
  • High temperature resistance to increase reliability in extreme conditions
  • Better compatibility with corrosive environments for longer life and increased safety
  • Increased fatigue resistance to extend product lifecycles
  • Shorter development times for faster time to market
  • Use of AI to drive innovation and increase efficiency

Together with researchers from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and a number of international nuclear companies, Alleima is developing material for the next generation of nuclear power.

Alleima allocates over 50% of its R&D budget to solutions within sustainable segments. During the year, Alleima Guru was launched, an AI-powered solution based on a large language model (LLM), which collects and analyzes approximately 60,000 documents and research reports. Streamlining data collection and analysis reduces the risk of duplicating research efforts and enables faster problem solving.

With more than 160 years of experience, Alleima is a natural global materials innovator and technology leader. The fully integrated research organization possesses unique innovation capabilities across the value chain and, with a high level of technical sales, guides customers from idea and design to finished product. This ensures the right solutions are developed for the customer’s specific needs, both in terms of material specifications and to improve the customer’s processes. Solutions to tomorrow’s challenges will require continued innovation and development.
