In 1942, an aluminium smelter was built in Sundsvall.  Aluminium production capacities were expanded intensively and in the 1960s a new aluminium production facility was constructed.

In the middle of the 1980s, the smelter was modernised using the latest technologies of that time, increasing production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000 tonnes per annum, which satisfies half of all aluminium demand in Sweden.

Approximately 50% of aluminium produced at Kubal is supplied to customers in Sweden, and the remaining 50% goes to European customers. The workforce of the smelter is over 500 people.

Technology

Kubal uses two technologies to produce aluminium. 78,600 tonnes of liquid aluminium is produced annually by Soderberg technology and 23,500 tonnes is produced by technology which uses pre-baked anodes. Soederberg electrolytic cells operate using dry anode paste. The computer control system has been implemented.
