WHO WE ARE
WHO WE ARE
United Company RUSAL, the world’s largest producer of aluminium and alumina, was
established in March 2007 following the merger of assets of three companies:
RUSAL, previously the third largest global aluminium company; SUAL, one of the
world’s top ten players in the aluminium business; and the alumina assets of
Glencore (Switzerland).
United Company RUSAL's assets include bauxite and nepheline ore mines, alumina
refineries, aluminium smelters, casthouse business for alloys production,
aluminium foil mills and production of aluminium packaging materials as well as
power-generating assets. Spread across 19 countries in 5 continents, the
operations and offices of the United Company RUSAL employ 100,000 people.
Many of our activities are aimed at continuing the development and growth of our
company as a global corporation and the leader in the world’s aluminium
industry.
While building our R&D potential and investing in the creation of new
environmentally-friendly and power-saving technologies, our company continues
to increase its production output through modernisation projects at our
existing production sites and construction of new plants, which will meet the
highest international HSE standards.
Strategically, United Company RUSAL, both an energy and metals company, has
further plans for growth by utilising its access to power resources,
exceptional in-house research and development capabilities and the expertise of
its highly-qualified personnel.
For us, leadership carries with it inherent responsibility - in setting industry
standards, influencing the dynamics of industrial growth and in some cases, the
development of nations. We aim to lead by example and to set the tone for
the future of the entire industry.
Leadership also implies a succinct mission - ours is to contribute, by the
development of our own business, to the economic and social prosperity in our
operational regions and countries.
We aim to be a source of pride for our employees and their children, and for the
local communities living near the operations of United Company RUSAL. This is a
vital principle as we continue to expand the geographic diversity of our
company in the near future.
