Alcoa's presence in Norway began in 1962 through a partnership with Elkem ASA to operate smelters in Lista and Mosjoen. Today those two facilities are 100% Alcoa owned and operated on clean hydropower, with a combined output of 286,000 metric tons per year.  Alcoa also operates an anode plant in Mosjoen which supplies the Mosjoen smelter as well as Alcoa Fjardaal in Iceland.

With modern casthouse technology and clean potroom metal, Alcoa Norway serves European rolling mills, extrusion plants and foundries. Alcoa Norway is well known for its JIT shipments and consistant metal quality - a flexible supplier close to the markets in Europe.
