- This is an NPC faction. For the affiliated player faction, see ALG Waste Disposal (player faction). For the rules for this particular faction, see ALG Waste Disposal ID.
ALG Waste Disposal is based in Rheinland but operates throughout the colonies due to its outstanding reputation for industrial clean-up.
Synopsis
History
When ALG Waste Disposal was founded in 88 A.S., it started as a small litter service in New Berlin. The employees earned a living with collecting other’s waste and recycling it to useful goods. The services have expanded to more than pure trash transportation: haulage of dangerous materials like Plutonium and MOX, export of industrial products reprocessed at Dortmund Station or made by Kruger and resource trafficking (mostly metals). Today ALG is one of the biggest companies in Rheinland, competing with the Republican-Daumann cooperation for the prospective assembly of the new Rheinland Bremen battleship class.
ALG is trying to buy up Kruger Minerals to create a giant conglomerate, which would be independent from Daumann resource deliveries and foreign machinery. They will also be able to produce some recently invented Super Alloys locally, which will meet the high requirements of the Bremen engineers without the need to import anything from Liberty. Due to the current war with the Libertonians, this would be a vital advantage in respect of Daumann/Republican.
Nowadays the sphere of ALG doesn't end at the borders of Rheinland. Every one of the major houses suffers from waste more or less. May it be the Leeds system, where irresponsible companies polluted the whole sector, or the old battlefield grounds in Sigma-13, where ALG works together with the Junkers in order to reduce the (often) radioactive scrap metal. All collected resources are retrieved to Helgoland Station or the smelters at the Dortmund Station for either reprocessing or reverse engineering. Some shipyards swear by the ship hull panels made by ALG. The only competitor is the Stokes Smelter in Leeds. But BMM is using outdated production methods which are less cost effective than those from ALG, so customers are confident that ALG will soon own all of this market. Yet most of the funds are coming from trading with numerous, mainly industrial products all over Sirius.
Another important fact is the trading alliance with the Independent Miners Guild and Gateway Shipping. This delineating and dynamic young trading conglomerate is a necessary counterpart to the older and established alliances, such as BMM & Bowex, Republican & Daumann, the Liberty companies and the Kusarian Kishiro & Samura. It's obvious that these big players feel threatened by this upcoming joint-venture. ALG also has developed and tightened strong bonds with the Junkers and the Gas Miners Guild, which tightens the danger for them.
The employees of ALG are heavily involved in their work, because there's a job for everybody. People with neglected formal education are welcome as like as skilled engineers with university degree or researchers, who want to work in a motivated and qualified team. ALG is always in need for a sturdy dustman who is able to fly the big movers full of radioactive waste without crashing into the next battleship. But the company needs also somebody who can do research on the newest composite material or some high-tech weapon prototype, which the transporters may find within the scrap metal.
Unlike many other factions, ALG encourages its workers to participate at the industrial council, which shares the say with the management body. The members of the industrial council are asked before the management decides to start greater projects. It's not surprising that the majority of the employee representatives is voting to merge ALG and Kruger together. The economic advantages for the employees would be overwhelming. Furthermore all workers have several days of holiday available to renew their powers and to cure possible medical damages, caused by nuclear radiation.
