Rusal Us Alscon To Start Domestic Sale Of Aluminium - Dec 11, 2008

UC Rusal Alscon, a Nigeria-based aluminium smelter and member of UC RUSAL, the world's largest aluminium and alumina producer, has stated that it had started negotiating with key members of the Association of Primary Aluminium Producers (APAP) on domestic sales of aluminium ingots in Nigeria.

Last week, the company hosted top executives of the Nigerian aluminium industry to discuss and agree on terms and conditions for domestic sales of ALSCON-produced aluminium ingots in Nigeria. The ALSCON smelter, which fell dormant in 1999, was restarted by UC RUSAL this February as part of a US$300 million modernization programme. The smelter is already producing more than 1,000 tonnes of aluminium ingots per month and employs 800 people.
