Krasnoyarsk aluminum plant will concentrate on the production of high-purity aluminum

The Krasnoyarsk aluminum plant, KrAZ, a member of UC Rusal enlarges annual production of high-purity aluminum by 4,200 tons to 15,000 tons. The enlargement in production is connected first of all with the improvement of the situation of at the external high-purity aluminum market. The list of orders of the plant for 2014 includes the orders of the largest Japanese and European producers, such as Mitsui, Furukawa-Sky, Sumitomo, Kobe Steel, and Hydro.

The producers think that the tendency for growth has appeared at the Russian market as well. The metal of KrAZ with aluminum content of 99.9% is demanded by the Russian companies oriented to high-processing goods production. High-purity aluminum is awaited at Krasnoyarsk and Kamensk-Uralsky metal works, Alcoa SMZ (the former Samara metal works), and VSPMO-Avisma Corporation
