Alcoa Rings the ASX Bell: Marking a New Chapter in Australia
Alcoa Corporation President and CEO William F. Oplinger had the honor of ringing the bell at the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), marking Alcoa’s milestone of being officially listed on the exchange.
“With our listing on the ASX, our commitment to Australia only grows stronger,” Oplinger said. “Australia plays an important part in Alcoa’s past and its future – from our people, to our operations, as well as our investors. We are committed to supporting safe and responsible operations across our mines, refineries and smelter in Australia. On behalf of more than 4,500 Alcoans in Australia, I am excited for our future and honored to be listed on the ASX.”
Alcoa began trading under the ticker symbol AAI on the ASX following the recent acquisition of Alumina Limited, a strategic move that enhances Alcoa’s upstream operations and strengthens the Company’s leadership in the global aluminum industry. The acquisition and listing on the ASX underscores Alcoa's strategy in the region.
Commitment to Australia and the Future of Aluminum
Australia has been central to Alcoa’s success for more than six decades. The Company’s integrated aluminum assets in the region provide a strong foundation for growth, job creation and innovation. By deepening Alcoa's roots here, the Company remains committed to supporting the local communities where we live and work, fostering economic prosperity and prioritizing environmental stewardship.
Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient future, anchored in Australia where our sustainable operations create and add value across the globe by providing the lower carbon metal the world needs today and tomorrow.
