Flat-Rolled Products Facilities
The principal business of the company’s Flat-Rolled Products segment is the production and sale of aluminum plate,
sheet and foil. This segment includes rigid container sheet, which is sold directly to customers in the packaging and
consumer market. This segment also includes sheet and plate used in the transportation, building and construction and
distribution markets.
As noted above, Alcoa and Ma’aden entered into an agreement that involves development of a rolling mill in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Initial hot mill capacity is expected to be between 250,000 and 460,000 mtpy. First
production is expected in 2013.
In January 2009, the company announced its intention to sell its Global Foil business. The sale of the Shanghai, China
foil facility was completed effective November 1, 2009, and the sale of the Sabiñánigo, Spain foil facility was
completed on December 1, 2009. The company continues to manufacture foil in Itapissuma, Brazil and Alicante, Spain,
while other strategic options are being explored.

2Alcoa Bohai Aluminum Products Company Ltd. (Bohai), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa, operates aluminum cold
rolling facilities in Qinhuangdao and is undertaking a major expansion, which includes a hot rolling mill and related
equipment. Production from the expansion began in 2008 and is expected to reach approximately 65% of capacity in
2011. Bohai ceased foil products production at the end of 2008 and shipped its remaining foil products through the first
quarter of 2009.
3In September 2009, the company idled the Texarkana rolling mill facility because of a continued weak outlook in
common alloy markets.
