Aluminium Smelting
Alcoa’s two Victorian aluminium smelters produce approximately 30% of Australia’s total aluminium production.
At Point Henry near Geelong, Alcoa owns and operates a smelter that has a capacity of 185,000 tonnes of aluminium a year. And in Portland, a joint venture smelter managed by Alcoa is capable of producing approximately 352,000 tonnes of aluminium a year.
Alcoa is Victoria’s largest exporter with overseas sales worth $1.6 billion a year. This equates to 7% of the State’s exports and 0.6% of Victoria’s gross state product (GSP).
