UC RUSAL launches new products plant to supply projects

UC RUSAL said it is launching a new plant to supply metal structures for the ongoing construction of a bauxite and alumina complex in the internal Russian republic of Komi. The plant, located in Ukhta, will produce around 51,000t of such product valued at over $100m. It will be launched with the technical and advisory support of Norway's Storvik with first output scheduled for November this year. "The establishment of a metalware production site in the Komi Republic is a logical continuation of our project to produce the equipment and hardware required by our aluminium and alumina projects currently under construction," said Valery Matvienko, UC RUSAL's Director of the Engineering and Construction Division.
