## Products & services

Alcoa’s product portfolio spans bauxite, alumina and aluminum products. Bauxite is sold to third parties as well as used as refinery feedstock; alumina includes smelter-grade material for aluminum production and non-metallurgical grades for industrial uses [8](https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/what-we-do/bauxite/)[9](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P2335000). Its EcoSource® brand covers low-carbon smelter-grade alumina and selected non-metallurgical products, including hydrate and calcined grades used in water treatment, flame retardants, ceramic tiles and refractory applications [10](https://www.alcoa.com/products/sustana/)[11](https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/what-we-do/alumina/stories/releases?id=2024%2F06%2Falcoa-makes-first-ecosource-non-metallurgical-alumina-nma-sales).

Aluminum products include commodity metal and proprietary alloys supplied in forms such as billet, slab, foundry ingot, standard ingot, T-bar, sow, rod and powder. Sustana® products include EcoLum® low-carbon primary aluminum—available as billet, foundry, slab, wire rod, unalloyed high-purity aluminum and P1020—and EcoDura®, which contains at least 50% recycled content [12](https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/what-we-do/aluminum/cast-products/)[10](https://www.alcoa.com/products/sustana/). Named foundry alloys include A354 VersaCast, designed for strength, elongation and fatigue resistance, and 351 SupraCast, designed for high-temperature strength and creep resistance [13](https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/what-we-do/aluminum/cast-products/foundry-aluminum-alloys)[14](https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/what-we-do/aluminum/cast-products/pdfs/ALC-A354-VersaCast-SellSheet.pdf)[15](https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/what-we-do/aluminum/cast-products/pdfs/ALC-351-SupraCast-SellSheet.pdf).

## Geographic presence

Alcoa’s operating footprint spans Australia, Brazil, Guinea, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Spain, and the United States. Its listed bauxite mining operations include sites in Western Australia, Brazil, and Guinea; alumina refineries are located in Australia, Brazil, and Spain. Aluminum smelters are located in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Spain, and the United States. The Kwinana refinery in Australia was permanently closed in 2025, and Alcoa sold its interest in a Saudi Arabian joint venture that year. [17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P114925520)[18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T8343109)

Alcoa’s principal executive office is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company describes alumina and aluminum sales as serving customers worldwide, but the available reporting does not provide a country- or region-level revenue breakdown. An Alcoa investor FAQ reports approximately 14,900 employees in 16 countries, without giving a regional distribution. [17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P114925520)[19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P15826319)
[17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P114925520)[18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T8343109)[19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P15826319)[20](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1675149/000119312526077167/aa-20251231.htm)[21](https://fr-ca.investors.alcoa.com/resources/investor-faqs/default.aspx)

## Business segments

Alcoa reports two segments: **Alumina** and **Aluminum**. Bauxite mining is included within Alumina, rather than reported as a separate segment. [3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T1374550)[22](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T16587007)

**Alumina** covers bauxite mining and alumina refining; alumina is sold to external customers, including smelters and chemical processors, and also supplied internally to Aluminum. [1](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P82888759)[23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P45789066) **Aluminum** covers aluminum smelting and casting primary metal into commodity-grade and value-added ingot products, sold primarily to external customers. [24](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P24596483)

For FY2025, the latest completed full-year reporting period, external sales were $4.447 billion for Alumina and $8.359 billion for Aluminum, out of $12.806 billion total segment external sales. This equates to approximately **34.7% Alumina** and **65.3% Aluminum**. [3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T1374550)

## Company history

The company traces its origins to Charles Martin Hall’s 1886 discovery of an electrolytic process for producing aluminum. The Pittsburgh Reduction Company was incorporated on October 1, 1888, and began production at a pilot facility; it later became known as the Aluminum Company of America, with “Alcoa” coined as a name in 1910. [6](https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/who-we-are/history) In 1961, Alcoa of Australia was formed and construction began on the Kwinana alumina refinery and Point Henry smelter; Kwinana was commissioned in 1963. [25](https://www.alcoa.com/australia/en/pdf/history-timeline.pdf)

Alcoa expanded through the 1998 acquisition of Alumax and its 2000 merger with Reynolds Metals. [26](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/4281/000000428198000023/0000004281-98-000023.txt) [27](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/83604/000008360400000024/0000083604-00-000024.txt) On November 1, 2016, Alcoa Inc. separated into two independent public companies: Alcoa Corporation, focused on bauxite, alumina and aluminum, and Arconic. [7](https://news.alcoa.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2016/Alcoa-Corporation-Launches-as-an-Independent-Industry-Leader-in-Bauxite-Alumina-and-Aluminum-Products/default.aspx) Alcoa acquired all ordinary shares of Alumina Limited on August 1, 2024. [28](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P57664176) In 2025, a 450 kA inert-anode cell developed through the ELYSIS initiative began operation, marking a milestone in work on lower-emissions aluminum smelting.
