#7: VP of Almex USA, Kedar Tilak: All About Aluminum
Almex USA specializes in aluminum casthouse equipment, what does that mean? Exactly. We engage with aluminum as a finished product on a daily basis, millions of people do. It's found in our kitchens, vehicles, landing equipment, and more, but we have no idea about where it came from to get here. Kedar and Lynae discuss the "farm to table" lifecycle of aluminum, as well as elements of sustainability, nuance within the aluminum industry, and how Kedar's perspective on working in aluminum has shifted over the years. See Almex's site here: almexusa.com Kedar shared this website also, aluminum.org, which is a US association all about the aluminum industry. #BTSPodcast is hosted by Lynae Cook, follow Lynae on social media: Instagram: @lynaecook Twitter: @lynaecook Sign up for the #askamillennial newsletter bit.ly/askamillennial Use promo code LCOOK5142 to save on your first InstaCart order, and LCOOK61 to save on excellent hotel bookings through HotelTonight. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/btspodcast/support
