Brazilian aluminum company CBA recently commenced operations of its expanded primary aluminum plant after boosting capacity to 475,000t/y from 405,000t/y.
As a result, CBA now has the largest primary aluminum smelter in Latin America, ahead of Brazil's Albras and Venezuela's Venalum.
"The expansion should be in full operation in two months," says CBA sales director Luís Carlos Loureiro Filho. The plant is located in Alumínio City in São Paulo. CBA has invested a total of US$2.07bn in the last five years, of which 72% came from the company's own resources. The company plans a further expansion to about 600,000t/y.
CBA, which also operates 18 hydroelectric plants, plans to install a new rolling mill, among other equipment. The company is part of Brazilian conglomerate Votorantim.
