July 21, 2022 - Aluminum producer Novelis Inc. has signed a cooperation research agreement with Airbus, which will allow for tighter collaboration between the two companies and advance the development of aluminum solutions for the aircraft of tomorrow.
This agreement will accelerate the pace of the companies' joint R&D programs. As a supplier of aluminum plate and sheet to Airbus, Novelis is aiding the evolution of aircraft design, material and manufacturing, with a focus on sustainability.
"This agreement will allow us to take full advantage of the circularity potential of aluminum as a material that can be infinitely recycled without loss of performance," said Philippe Meyer, senior vice oresident and chief technology officer at Novelis. "Aluminum is the perfect solution to make the new generations of aircraft lighter, to enable the usage of new engine solutions and to make the aircraft manufacturing and supply chain more cost effective and robust."

Gainesville, GA (June 22, 2022) – For many years, The Harris Products Group has provided financial support for a non-profit just down the street from its Gainesville, Georgia, facility. The organization, Sisu, brings educational, therapeutic, nursing and support services to children with special needs in 16 counties in northeast Georgia. Sisu’s integrated learning environment allows children from 6 weeks to 6 years with special needs to learn and interact alongside their typically developing peers.
This spring, Harris donated $25,000, bringing its total support over the years to more than $285,000. These donations have helped build new classrooms, improved playgrounds and assisted with Sisu’s administrative costs.
“At Harris, we’re proud to continue our annual charity contribution to Sisu, our friend and neighbor,” said Melissa Nolan, Human Resources Manager at Harris. “Over the years, many of our employees have had children enrolled at Sisu and we are happy to be able to support them both financially and as a good neighbor.”
Sisu is a Finnish concept that relates to inner determination, persistence, grit, bravery, resilience, hardiness and indomitable spirit. This is the mindset that Sisu encourages to help these children reach beyond perceived capabilities and take action against all odds.
More information about Sisu can be found at mysisu.org.
