The output of primary aluminium in H1, 2013 went down by 4.5% and made up 1.999 million tons against 2.093 million tons in H1, 2012. It is said about in a statement of the company.
The reduction was due to the launch of the programme on the reduction of production at the less efficient plants of the company. The decrease of aluminium production at the Bogoslovsky, Nadvoitsky, Ural and Novokuznetsk plants of the company in Russia and an interruption of an electrolysis production at ALSCON in Nigeria have been the main factors, which influenced the total reduction of aluminium production volume over the reported period.
