Our metals intelligence platform enabled by our unique elemental analysis technology allows us to deliver beneficial financial and environmental business outcomes to our customers. We see ourselves as significant contributors to a carbon-neutral future and digital transformation towards Industry 4.0 for the industries we serve. I want to thank both Karl and Sveinn, the co-founders and prior CEOs, for their achievements and the support that they have provided to my appointment.”

Richard MacKellar, Managing Partner at Chrysalix Ventures and Chairman of the Board of DTE, commented, “Chrysalix is excited and supportive of the nomination of Diego Areces as DTE's CEO. We welcome Diego to this new role in the Company as we continue to drive DTE's growth to fulfill its potential in leading a market of new and better, greener, safer, more efficient metals through technological innovation and value-added solutions.
