Alcoa Makes Offer to Acquire Alcan
Alcoa is committed to growing the combined company’s already substantial presence in Canada, particularly in Québec and British Columbia. Specifically, as a result of the opportunities provided by the combination of the two companies, Alcoa intends to transfer to Montréal a number of strategic head office functions. Montréal will also become the combined company’s global headquarters for primary products (bauxite, energy, alumina and aluminum), as well as for related research and development. As a stand-alone company, the primary products business would be the largest aluminum company in the world and larger than Alcan is today, with US$32 billion in 2006 revenues and approximately 38,000 employees in 29 countries around the world, ranking among the largest businesses in Canada.
