Novelis is the world leader in aluminum rolling, producing an estimated 19 percent of the world's flat-rolled aluminum products. Novelis is also the world leader in the recycling of used aluminum beverage cans.

Novelis produces high-quality aluminum sheet and foil products for customers in a wide range of markets including automotive, transportation, packaging, construction and printing.

Novelis has operations in 11 countries and employs around 12,900 employees.

Formed as a Canadian corporation in January 2005, Novelis is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hindalco Industries Limited -- Asia's largest integrated producer of aluminum and a leading producer of copper. Based in Mumbai, India, Hindalco is one of the most cost-efficient aluminum producers globally.

Hindalco is the flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, a $14 billion multinational conglomerate.

Hindalco is structured into two strategic businesses -- aluminum and copper --and is an industry leader in both. Established in 1958, Hindalco has grown to become the country's largest integrated aluminum producer and ranks among the top quartile of low cost producers in the world. Its copper smelter is the world's largest custom smelter at a single location.

With the addition of Novelis in 2007, Hindalco became the world's largest aluminum rolling company and one of the biggest producers of primary aluminum in Asia.

Novelis has the capacity to recycle every aluminium can sold in the UK for the foreseeable future

Novelis and Recycling

Novelis is the world's largest aluminium can recycler. Annually, we recycle more than 35 billion used beverage cans -- enough to circle the earth more than 100 times. Many Novelis plants have the facilities to recycle post-consumer aluminium as well as scrap aluminium generated during the manufacturing process. This recycled metal is then primarily utilised by Novelis' own rolling facilities to produce can sheet.

We are a leader in establishing industry programmes to promote aluminium collection and recycling in many of the countries where we operate.
