At ALUMINUM USA, we interviewed Aron Adalsteinsson, sales and marketing specialist, and Ágúst Ingi Sævarsson, sales development representative, DTE, about the company and its innovative products for molten metal analysis.
Since its founding in 2013, DTE has been at the forefront of digital transformation in the aluminum industry, making production safer, more cost-efficient, and less energy-intensive. Using its proprietary liquid-phase laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LP-LIBS™) technology, the company delivers real-time chemical analysis of molten metal, enabling producers to optimize energy use, improve scrap utilization, and enhance safety through automated sampling.
Recently, DTE formed two separate partnerships to better serve the industry. In April 2025, the company signed an teaming agreement with Ramboll, a global engineering and consulting company delivering sustainable equipment integration solutions, to enhance process control capabilities for aluminum producers.
In May 2025, DTE formed a strategic partnership with Dynamic Concept, a global supplier of molten metal process technologies and equipment to the aluminum industry, to deliver complete solutions — including Dynamic Concept’s molten metal transfer solution and DTE’s molten metal analysis solution — into fully integrated units destined to aluminum producer customers.
