KTD brings unequalled added value to major aluminum industry projects in the following areas:

World class aluminum reduction & process control technology

KTD-designed technologies are built around the most advanced design and operational criteria.  Our projects may involve the design, demonstration & placement of proprietary KTD technologies or the refinement and utilization of existing technologies.

Recruitment of owner-investors and operators
Via our global network of aluminum industry ties and contacts  - 

Our ability to speak with the authority earned from years of hands-on aluminum experience across the globe  - 
And the incomparable insider's perspective  that comes from occupying senior positions with major international aluminum producers and leading industrial multinationals.

Global strategic alliances

KTD brings important strategic alliance partners to our projects.  We have strong alliance relationships with leading global EPCM companies, materials handling equipment companies, alumina sources, equipment vendors, off-takers and others.

Financing & bankability

KTD can illustrate the "bankability" of our projects through the feasibility studies that are part of our development model.  KTD assists owners and project developers in structuring the required project financing.  We add particularly strong value by illustrating to financiers that proper business assumptions and design criteria are built into our projects.
