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.
