The countdown has started for GADDEN 2018. This career fair started out 36 years ago and is today the largest event of its kind in the Nordic region. CellMark are looking forward to November 13-14, two fantastic days where we will interact with students from Gothenburg School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg. A school where you find research and education with global perspectives and a focus on sustainable development. Hope to see you there!
This year GADDEN wants to raise awareness through the theme “Shape your tomorrow”. With new angles and perspectives, they aim to highlight our unique differences and that all people have individual needs. CellMark is a global company continuously developing. Just like GADDEN’s idea, we are having a mixed palette of ingredients within our global CellMark community. Our strenghts lie in our differences and we believe that is what makes us unique and successful. In our booth, you will get the opportunity to talk about global trade, sign up for our fun after work and compete for a very special prize.
We hope to be able to shape your tomorrow! We are looking for engaged summer workers. Maybe it’s you?

Earlier in October, CellMark Chemicals attended CPhI Worldwide 2018 in Madrid. This is the world largest pharmaceutical event that unites more than 100,000 pharmaceutical professionals through exhibitions, conferences and online communities to network, identify business opportunities and expand the global market.
CellMark participated with 15 people from Asia, USA and Europe. It was a great event allowing the team to interact with major producing partners and valued customers from the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals synthesis industries.
We would like to thank all the producing partners and valuable customers for a lot of various fruitful business discussions. For the CellMark group, meetings like this really pave the way forward to further business cooperation around the pharmaceutical market.
And of course, we will be there at CPhI 2019 in Frankfurt as well!

Last month, CellMark Metals’ foundry team visited the Danish Foundry Association’s 99th annual anniversary. Held on the island Fyn in Denmark, this yearly meeting is the perfect occasion to be at. It’ provides excellent opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing for people in the foundry and surface treatment industry.
Foundry Chemicals and FeSiMg
One of the speakers was Mr Luca Gonzo of Mazzon, CellMark’s partner for foundry chemicals. Another presenter was Luc Vereecken, manager of CellMark Metals’ Foundry team. Luc Vereeken made a presentation about the production and use of FeSiMg, a configuration of alloy that puts Mg, Rare Earth metals and Ca in ferro silicon. FeSiMg is mainly used as nodulariser for the production of ductile cast iron, therefore widely used in the metallurgic industry.
In partnership with FerroGlobe, a producer of foundry products in France, the US, Argentina and South Africa, CellMark has helped foundries choosing the right FeSiMg for over 30 years. Based on great experience and knowledge, Luc Vereecken shared lots of interesting insights to the other participants.
Benefit for all parties
The meeting was a big success for all parties, and both Mazzon and CellMark are now invited to celebrate next year’s big 100th anniversary of the Danish Foundry Association.
The Danish Foundry Association (DSBF) is the speaker of the Danish foundries, representing the industry’s interests and providing advice to its members. DSBF is also a part of the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) ─ a private organisation funded, owned and managed entirely by 10,000 companies within manufacturing, trade and service industry.
