With Expanite surface treatment it’s possible to increase the surface hardness of stainless steels by up to 10 times, while maintaining or even enhancing corrosion resistance. This method is considered unique since it’s suitable for austenitic-, ferritic-, martensitic and duplex stainless steels. Parts can be treated with extremely short lead times—a few days—which is previously unseen within surface hardening of stainless steel. The Expanite technology can significantly increase the value of products across many industries—from knives, valves, mixers, and grinders for the food industry, to pumps and extruder screws, or injection parts for the automotive sector, as well as screws, bolts, and washers. At its core, Expanite offers 3 different processes, each of which can be optimized according to customers’ requirements in terms of abrasion, galling, corrosion and scratch resistance. This means that Expanite can develop and customize solutions for a wide variety of companies and industries. With the opportunity of processing most common stainless steel alloys - either in-house or at Expanites treatment centre - the company offers significantly improved corrosion, wear, fatigue and scratch resistance.

Mary Fonden er sat i verden for de mange, som står alene eller risikerer at stå alene og ende i social isolation. Mary Fonden skal støtte og hjælpe mennesker, som er røget ud af eller er i fare for at ryge ud af fællesskabet, til at indgå i eller forblive i fællesskabet. Det er således Mary Fondens vision at bidrage til en samfundsudvikling, hvor alle har adgang til fællesskabet, og det er Mary Fondens mission at bekæmpe social isolation ud fra grundtanken, at 'alle har ret til at høre til'​. Fonden har på denne baggrund til formål at forebygge og afhjælpe social isolation, fremme tolerance over for forskellighed og skabe håb. Mary Fonden adskiller sig på væsentlige punkter fra mange andre fonde, bl.a. ved at fonden ofte selv identificerer og udvikler projekter. I andre tilfælde videreudvikler og skalerer fonden allerede eksisterende projekter. I alle tilfælde drives projekterne i tæt samarbejde med relevante samarbejdspartnere. Mary Fondens indsats er koncentreret inden for tre områder: Mobning og Trivsel, Vold i Hjemmet og Ensomhed.
