Helene Seim new General Manager of Boliden's Odda zinc smelter

Helene Seim has been appointed General Manager at Boliden’s Odda zinc smelter in Norway. Helene’s most recent position was Production Manager, and she has worked at Boliden Odda since 2003. Helene replaces Dag Berg, who has been General Manager since 2010, and who has been appointed Manager R&D Strategic Projects within Boliden Smelters to strengthen the business unit’s strategic research and development initiatives. They are both, at present, expected to take up their new positions at the start of 2017.

“During Dag Berg’s time, Boliden Odda has been involved in a number of successful projects to strengthen its already strong position. With Helene as the new General Manager I am convinced that this positive development will be pursued with a focus on safety and continuous improvements,” says Kerstin Konradsson, President Boliden Smelters.

Boliden Odda produces pure zinc and zinc alloys, as well as sulphuric acid. The smelter’s expansion to increase production to 200 ktonnes of zinc per year from the second quarter of 2017 is going well.

The abnormally high seismic activity in Garpenberg has decreased and mining production at low levels will commence in the second quarter. The first quarter throughput was just under 0.8 Mton instead of the expected slightly over 0.9 Mton at already communicated grades. All inspections are not yet complete but production in the most affected part of the mine is not expected to resume in 2026. Until further notice, Garpenberg's production is therefore estimated to be around 30 percent of the guided capacity of 3.7 Mton per year. For the first quarter of 2026, EBITDA will be negatively affected by approximately SEK -400 million at today's prices and terms.

Boliden has decided to invest in a new hoist system at Garpenberg and an industrial demonstration plant for the production of supplementary cementitious material at Rönnskär. The investments, which amount to SEK 4 billion and SEK 1.5 billion respectively, will strengthen the earnings capacity of both units and lay the foundation for exploiting further future opportunities.
