Under the new leadership of Managing Director Mike McKinstry, Alcoa Australia Rolled Products is expanding its business and growing sales into the competitive Asian markets.
“Alcoa ARP is committed to continuing as the leading supplier of Aluminium can sheet products into the Australian and Asian markets. By upgrading existing equipment we are able to double our capacity for pre-treating aluminium can end sheet, at a very low cost.” he said.
The expansion is scheduled for completion in mid 2005 and Alcoa ARP will begin supplying customers with can end sheet for use in aluminium beverage cans, from this expansion, immediately. This growth in capacity will not affect existing production or supply to customers.
According to Mike McKinstry, this project is part of an ongoing growth strategy for Alcoa ARP. “This is an exciting period of growth for Alcoa ARP and our customers,” he said.
