Story

In 2001, Alcoa formed a strategic alliance with China's Chalco aluminum company, the country's largest aluminum producer. On September 12, 2007, Alcoa sold its stake.

In 2004, the company's fine chemicals division was sold to the Rhône Group, which then changed its name to Almatis, Inc.

In 2005, in Iceland, Alcoa began construction of the Alcoa Fjarðaál, steel plant for the production of primary aluminum - its first built metallurgical production over the past 20 years, despite strong criticism from local and international non-governmental organizations regarding a controversial project to build a dam to generate electricity and supply the needs of the plant. Alcoa has also completed, or in some cases continues to implement, primary aluminum expansion projects in Brazil, Jamaica and Pinjarra, Western Australia.

In 2006, the corporation moved its headquarters from Pittsburgh to New York. Although the company is headquartered in New York City, the company's operational headquarters are still located at the Corporate Center in Pittsburgh. The company employs approximately 2,000 people at the Corporate Center in Pittsburgh and 60 people at the main office in New York.

In May 2007, Alcoa offered a $27.93 billion buyout to Alcan, a former subsidiary, with the goal of merging the 2 companies into the world's largest aluminum producer. Alcan did not act on the offer and later announced a friendly takeover by Rio Tinto in July 2007.

The Packaging and Consumer Business division was sold in the first quarter of 2008.

On May 8, 2008, Klaus Kleinfeld was named CEO of Alcoa, succeeding Alan Belda. On April 23, 2012, after the planned retirement of A. Beld, the company's board of directors elected K. Kleinfeld as its chairman.

On November 1, 2016, Alcoa split into two companies: Alcoa Corporation, which mines and produces aluminum, and Arconic, which makes products from aluminum and other metals.

Owners and management

The market capitalization of the company as of February 12, 2007 was $28.2 billion. In early February 2007, it was reported that the British-Australian mining company BHP Billiton and the Australian Rio Tinto were considering buying Alcoa. The amount of the deal could be up to $40 billion.

The President and CEO of the company is Klaus Kleinfeld ( Klaus Kleinfeld).

Activity

Alcoa has operations in 31 countries. The company operates at all major stages of industrial production: technology, mining, refining, smelting, processing, recycling. Revenue from the extraction and processing of aluminum and alumina accounts for three-quarters of Alcoa's total revenue. Other areas of the company's activities are precision casting and fasteners used in industry and aviation. The company produces aluminum structures, siding, cast aluminum products, including rims for cars, as well as aluminum. The company's products are used in industry, aircraft, automotive, commercial vehicles, packaging, construction, oil and gas and defense industries.

The number of the company's personnel is 61 thousand people (2012). The company's revenue in 2011 amounted to $24.4 billion, net profit - $0.094 billion.

Alcoa in Russia

Alcoa has been operating in Russia since 1993. The representative office is located in Moscow.

In 2005, the company included two large aluminum processing plants: Samara Metallurgical Plant (since 2009 - CJSC Alcoa SMZ) and Belokalitvinsk Metallurgical Production Association (in the city of Belaya Kalitva, Rostov Region), CJSC Alcoa Metallurg Rus) . They were purchased from Russian Aluminum for $257 million. In July 2007, Belokalitvinsk Metallurgical Production Association was reorganized by merging with Alcoa Metallurg Rus (AMR).

CJSC Alcoa SMZ produces sheet-rolled, pressed and forged products: rolls, including can tape (case, key, cap), canning tape, painted tape, sheets, profiles, panels, pipes, stampings and forgings, including including oversized ones.

CJSC Alcoa Metallurg Rus produces sheet-rolled, pressed and forged products: sheets, plates, panels; profiles, rods, pipes, stampings, forgings, aluminum cookware with non-stick coating, aluminum frosted cookware, special aluminum cookware (flasks, cans, etc.) under the trademark "Kalitva" using technologies and non-stick coatings of companies

By 8.7% to $3.25 billion. EBITDA margin was 14.4% against 14.9% a year earlier. The company's total debt rose 3% to $9.1 billion, including net debt of $7.18 billion.

According to the results of the reporting period, the company reduced the production of alumina by 5.3% in annual terms to 15.72 million tons. The output of primary aluminum at Alcoa plants decreased by 10% year on year and amounted to 2.811 million tons against 3.125 million tons in 2014.

According to the results of the IV quarter, the output of alumina was at the level of 3.856 million tons (-2.5% compared to the III quarter of 2014), aluminum - 699 thousand tons (at the level of the previous quarter).

In 2016, Alcoa expects global demand for aluminum to grow by 6% compared to 2015 to 60.5 million tons, the company said. At the same time, Alcoa predicts that in 2016 the deficit of aluminum in the world market will be 1.2 million tons, alumina - 2.8 million tons due to the closure of capacities around the world.

Story

2000: International expansion

The last decades of the 20th century saw rapid growth in this industry. Alcoa has responded to increased competition by expanding its technical base, improving technology, reducing costs, expanding the range of products, markets and activities in different countries and the development of an unparalleled natural resource base around the world.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Alcoa significantly increased its global footprint through internal growth, international collaborations and major acquisitions in Europe and .

Aluminum is favored for convenience packaging, new generations of aircraft and automobiles, and thousands of other modern products that are stronger, safer, lighter, less energy-intensive to manufacture, and more efficient to dispose of.

1907: Change of name to Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa)

By 1907, the expanded company had bauxite mines in Arkansas, a refinery in Illinois, and three smelters in New York and Canada. The owners changed the name of the company to a more appropriate one - "Aluminum Company of America" ​​(Aluminum Company of America). Later, when the company began to open its branches in different countries of the world, this name turned into Alcoa Inc.

In the late 1930s, a pound of aluminum cost 20 cents, and more than 2,000 items were produced from the company's products. Then the Second World War. Demand for aluminum doubled, as did Alcoa's production. But most of the new capacity was financed by the federal government, and after the war these plants were sold to competing companies.

1888: Creation of the Pittsburgh Reduction Company

Hall found his sponsors in nearby Pittsburgh. It was a group of six industrialists led by Alfred E. Hunt. These bold entrepreneurs formed the Pittsburgh Reduction Company and built a small factory on what is now Pittsburgh's Strip District. On Thanksgiving Day in 1888, Hall and his first employee, Arthur Vining Davis , produced the first batch of industrial aluminum using the Hall technology.

The mountain of ingots grew, but there were still no buyers. Manufacturers were afraid to deal with unfamiliar metal. To set an example, Davies began making some items, starting with an aluminum teapot.

Meanwhile, Hall continued to improve his technology and develop alloys. He succeeded in reducing the cost of aluminum in bars from $4.86 per pound in 1888 to 78 cents in 1893.

Production grew, and soon aluminum was used to make kitchen utensils, foil, electrical wires and cables, car bodies, and engine parts used in the Wright Brothers' first airplane, tested at Cape Kitty Hawk.

1880s: Hall experiments with aluminum production

A professor at Oberlin College in Ohio, Frank Jewitt, showed his chemistry students a piece of aluminum and said that anyone who could discover an economical way to produce this metal would become rich.

One of those students, Charles Martin Hall, had been experimenting with minerals since he was 12, turning a small wooden backyard into a makeshift laboratory.

After graduating, he continued his experiments in the barn. He learned how to extract aluminum oxide - alumina - and created his own coal crucible with a cryolite bath in which alumina was located, and passed an electric current through it.

The result is a hardened mass. He let it cool and then smashed it with a hammer. And I found some small balls of pure aluminum.

It was a wonderful discovery. But to go further, Hall needed money.

Story

2015: Alcoa sold 100% of shares of CJSC Alcoa Metallurg Rus

At the end of March 2015, Alcoa sold a 100% stake in CJSC Alcoa Metallurg Rus (until July 2009 - Belokalitvinsk Metallurgical Production Association). Alcoa acquired these two plants from RusAl in 2005 for $257 million.

Buyer of the Belokalitvinsky Metallurgical production association(ZAO Alcoa Metallurg Rus; USAID, Rostov Region) was presented by ZAO Linen. Vladimir Chertovikov, General Director of CJSC Linen, told Izvestiya that the deal was closed. End Buyer enterprise in Belaya Kalitva was the Stupino Titanium Company.

- "Linen" is subsidiary Stupino Titanium Company (CTK), - says Chertovikov.

Back in January 2015, the Federal Antimonopoly Service granted the application of CJSC Linen to purchase 100% of the shares of CJSC Alcoa Metallurg Rus. According to SPARK-Interfax, STK is 100% owned by Nikolai Timokhin, Linen with an authorized capital of 10 thousand rubles was established in August 2014.

- The plant in Belaya Kalitva produces products in our profile, STK produces about 100 tons of titanium products monthly for aviation industry. AMR has interesting technologies and equipment, the use of which will give a synergistic effect to both enterprises. We are going to increase production in Kalitva in order to increase export supplies. Now the loading of the plant is about 20 thousand tons per year. The crisis is not a hindrance to us, on the contrary, because of the low ruble costs, this is our chance to enter Western markets, - Vladimir Chertovikov explained to Izvestia the reason for buying the Alcoa-owned plant.

Alcoa itself claims that the sale of AMR is due to the fact that the plant does not fit into new strategy company, which was accepted in 2013. According to her, Alcoa should strengthen its position in the main growth markets: automotive, aircraft manufacturing and the market household appliances and packaging.

- The decision to sell the enterprise is not related to sanctions against Russia, any business transformation actions considered by Alcoa are in line with the company's strategy, in which it concentrates its development on markets and products with high growth potential, an Alcoa representative told Izvestia.

At the same time, in the spring of 2014, Alcoa President and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld refused to travel to the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2014). As representatives of the press service of the company, which ranks third among the world's largest aluminum producers, told reporters at the time, this decision was made due to pressure from the US authorities.

However, as analysts have repeatedly argued, many owners of American companies with assets in Russia have long been trying to minimize contracts and sell local assets.

- Russia for Alcoa was a promising, but not the most important market, - says one of them.

Representatives of Linen and Alcoa declined to name the amount of the deal.

Leonid Khazanov, deputy editor-in-chief of Metal Supply and Sales magazine, believes that the cost of AMR may be equal to the amount that Alcoa has invested in the enterprise in the form of investments since the purchase in 2005, that is, about $ 160 million. Alcoa, according to him, has successfully modernized the enterprise , but now it's underloaded.

- For the Stupino company, which supplies products to the aerospace industry in Russia, the plant in Belaya Kalitva will provide access to new customers, - says Khazanov.

Alcoa bought the Samara Metallurgical Plant (Alcoa SMZ) and the Belokalitvinsky Metallurgical Production Association (Alcoa Metallurg Rus) in 2005 for $257.5 million from Oleg Deripaska's Russian Aluminum. Alcoa's total investments in the acquisition and modernization of plants amounted to more than $850 million at the beginning of 2015. $450 million fell to the SMZ, $160 million to the plant in Kalitva.

“In 2014, the plant in Belaya Kalitva made a profit for the first time,” a company representative told Izvestia.

Factories in Samara and Kalitva produce rolls, including can tape, canning tape, colored tape, sheets, profiles, panels, pipes, stampings, forgings, dishes.

The company has been preparing the deal for a long time. Thus, until October 2014, USAID owned 100% of the shares of Samara CJSC Alcoa SMZ, the second Alcoa plant in Russia. In September, Alcoa reduced authorized capital AMR to 3.14 billion rubles from 8.83 billion rubles, by transferring the shares of SMZ to the head LLC Alcoa Rus Investment Holdings.

Alcoa plans to generate $1 billion in additional revenue in 2016 through the optimization/revision of rolling capacities around the world. In 2014, the company has already closed two rolling plants in Australia and sold three European plants.

MODERNIZATION

For the first time, the modernization of the plant and the installation of new equipment took place simultaneously in all workshops, including auxiliary production. Most of the projects have already been completed, the largest of them:

In the foundry, two new high-performance melting and casting units were built, unit No. 21 was completely modernized. An automated line for cutting flat ingots has been installed. As a result, the plant has received the capacity to meet the demand for high-purity ingots for both can strip and aerospace products.

In press production, the world's largest vertical press with a force of 75,000 tons is equipped with a new control system and new manipulators. A horizontal press with a force of 20 thousand tons has been modernized. All existing hardening furnaces have been modernized and new hardening furnaces have been built to meet the requirements of all standards for Western aviation technology, shipbuilding and other industries.

In the rolling production, many major components of the hot rolling mill have been reconstructed, and a new high-performance furnace for preheating ingots has been put into operation. Mill control system upgraded cold rolling. Several new cutting lines have been installed, including for cutting cans. A varnishing line, unique for Russia, was put into operation for the production of high-quality coated aluminum tape. The production capacity of the new varnishing line is about 60 thousand tons of products per year. The project was implemented in as soon as possible in just 17 months: in January 2008, the installation of equipment began, and in June 2009 the first batch finished products already shipped to customers.

The developer and supplier of the line equipment is the German company BWG, a recognized world leader in the production of machines for coating ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The line allows processing rolls of various aluminum alloys with a thickness of 0.15 to 0.8 mm. The width of the tape produced is from 1050 to 2050 mm. Tape processing speed - up to 250 meters per minute. During processing, the line sequentially cuts the edge of the incoming strip, straightening by stretching, preliminary surface preparation, varnishing, drying, surface quality control.

The line is fully automated and equipped with all necessary equipment providing security for both service personnel, and for environment. Thus, the supply and exhaust ventilation in the varnishing booth ensures a complete change of the air environment 60 times per hour.

Tape for subsequent varnishing is supplied by the rolling production of OAO SMZ, which has all the necessary capacities. Achieved quality indicators of Samara rolled products have caught up with the indicators of world rolling production.
