BERLIN (Scrap Monster): The ALBA Group, an environmental services, recycling and raw material supplier based in Germany, has announced that it has sold its scrap metal recycling facility in Lübeck, Germany, to the German recycling company Autorecyclinghof Sönke Milon e. K. The deal is expected to be complete by Sept. 1, 2016. Following the sale of the facility the employees of ALBA Group’s Lubeck location will become members of the staff of the new owners.

The Lübeck facility was a part of ALBA Metall Nord GmbH.

A spokesman for ALBA says that the sale of the facility is being done to optimize the company’s portfolio. The company says that going forward it is seeking to focus on locations where it can combine both the disposal of waste and the recycling of scrap metal in the most efficient way, especially by using innovation and modern technology.

In a release announcing the deal, ALBA Group’s CEO Dr. Axel Schweitzer, says, "We are driving the strategic realignment of our group continuously ahead. This also means that we concentrate on those areas in which we gain new raw materials in the combination of the disposal and steel and metals recycling activities through technology and innovation."

The Lübeck facility was used by ALBA primarily for the storage and treatment of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, wood shavings and steel scrap used.

ALBA has locations throughout Europe and Asia. The company says that it handles around 50 million metric tons of material through its recycling business.

[Hubei: Issuing "computing power vouchers," raising subsidy ratios, and including service models such as models and yuan in the subsidy scope]

The General Office of the Hubei Provincial People's Government issued the Several Measures for Promoting Stable Economic Improvement in Hubei Province by Combining Short-Term and Long-Term Approaches in Q3 and Q4, which proposes to step up efforts to advance the construction of the "six networks." A project reserve pool and an annual list of major projects will be established, and preliminary work funds from provincial budget investment will be allocated to support the advancement of major projects.

[Samsung HBM4 capacity may double next year]

Industry sources indicate that Samsung plans to increase the outsourced cleaning volume of glass carriers in its HBM process from 20,000 wafers per month this year to 50,000 wafers per month next year, a fivefold increase from 10,000 wafers per month last year. Glass carriers are support structures temporarily attached to the bottom of DRAM wafers during the HBM process, used to prevent the wafers from bending or cracking during etching and drilling. Since glass carriers can be reused, actual usage is affected by loading methods and process yield, but if cleaning demand increases 2.5-fold, it suggests a high likelihood that Samsung's HBM4-series production will at least double next year. Samsung is actively preparing to expand capacity for HBM4 and HBM4E, both of which feature high-stack architectures with more than 12 layers.
