Karin Birkkjær Rasmussen

Founder

As the founder of AluSME, I have dedicated my career to the aluminum industry, specializing in anodizing and surface finishing since 2006.

Throughout the years, my responsibilities and areas of focus have evolved. Yet, my consistent goal has been to consistently optimize and refine, pushing for improvement and challenging the status quo. My drive has been evident both during my tenure at Bang & Olufsen and at Apple, where my career took root before establishing AluSME.

With my background in chemical engineering, coupled with lead auditor and quality engineering training, my approach to work is analytical and process-driven.

Anodizing specialist / co-owner

As co-owner of AluSME, I work primarily with job-shop anodizing, quality control, and daily process execution.

I have been directly involved in establishing and commissioning AluSME’s in-house anodizing facility, including layout, process setup, and operational workflows. My focus is on consistent surface quality, process control, and practical problem-solving in a production environment.

At AluSME, I work hands-on with customers and production alike, bridging development requirements with reliable shop-floor execution.
