Creating Value for
Customers
Alcoa established its fourth
flat-rolled products plant
in China – Alcoa Kunshan
Aluminum Products Co., Ltd. –
designed to produce 50,000
tons of aluminum brazing sheet
annually for the Asian automo-
tive market. Alcoa is managing
partner in a joint venture with
Shanxi Yuncheng Engraving
Group. The venture is part
of Alcoa’s global flat-rolled
products strategy to provide
customers with a common
portfolio of products world-
wide supplied by regional
manufacturing assets.
Alcoa Material
Covers Hanoi
Convention Center
160 tons of Alcoa Architectural
Products’ REYNOLUX®was
used for the roof of the newly
opened National Convention
Center in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The coil-coated aluminum
material was selected because
of its exceptional resistance
against UV light and great
protection against weathering.
Serving Korea’s
Aerospace Market
Korea Aerospace Industries
(KAI) is sourcing hard alloy
aluminum extrusions from
Alcoa’s Changwon Precision
Extrusions (CPE) for several
aircraft projects. CPE is
providing structural parts for
the T50, Korea’s advanced jet
trainer. It is also supplying
extrusions for the vertical fin
assembly and horizontal
stabilizers for the Boeing 737
(one of the best-selling com-
mercial aircraft in aviation his-
tory), and a wing component
for the Boeing 747.
Wildlife Technology
Employees from Alcoa
Bohai helped band cranes,
hawks and owls and then
released them to the wild at
Qinhuangdao Beidaihe, the
largest wetland in China
and a haven for bird-watchers.
Banding birds helps understand
migration patterns, social
structure and life span.
The data collected is used to
help determine how environ-
mental changes affect birds.
