Alcoa Inc., the largest U.S. aluminum producer, said it started construction on the site of an alumina refinery in Saudi Arabia.
Ceremonies were held today to mark the official groundbreaking at the refinery and the pouring of the first concrete at the aluminum rolling mill, Alcoa said in a statement.
The 380,000-ton rolling mill will initially make aluminum sheet for cans, and in the future may produce metal for building products or car parts, Kenneth Wisnoski, who heads Alcoa's division that encompasses growth, energy, bauxite and Africa, said in a telephone interview from Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
