40 Cranes for 40 Years
In Japanese mythology and folklore, the crane (tsuru) is a special bird that represents long life, good luck, and loyalty. It is seen as a messenger from the gods and is well-known for the story of the grateful crane and the custom of folding 1,000 origami paper cranes.

Dear R&D Carbon team,
Congratulations on your 40th anniversary.
I have been part of the aluminium industry for over 30 years, and throughout much of that time I have had the pleasure of working with R&D Carbon. I have always valued your technical expertise, your professionalism and, above all, the constructive and trusted cooperation with your team.
R&D Carbon has made an important contribution to our industry. You have helped aluminium producers understand carbon better, improve anode performance and solve many difficult technical challenges.
For this anniversary, I folded 40 origami cranes—one for each year of R&D Carbon. The black cranes represent carbon, the aluminium cranes represent the metal we produce, and the colourful cranes represent the many people, ideas and partnerships behind your success.
From carbon to aluminium – and into the future.
Thank you for 30+ years of excellent cooperation. I wish the entire R&D Carbon team continued success and all the very best for the next chapter.
Happy anniversary.
