Downstream aluminium weekly: Sistem Teknik installs homogenising furnace at old Alcoa smelter owned by Sider Alloy Italia; Swiss National Bank elevates Kaiser Aluminium shares by 7.4%

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 4MINS READ

The downstream sector has seen major advancements this week with Sistem Teknik installing a homogenising furnace at the former Alcoa smelter at Portoscuso, Italy which is presently owned by Sider Alloy Italia. This will enhance the billet forging process due to the incorporated electric heater cassettes and fans while saving major capital investment. Effective from September 1, Vedanta has cut down its aluminium wire rod price by INR 3,250 per tonne which has been an extreme hit and is the result of downgrading LME aluminium prices. The Swiss National Bank single-handedly raised Kaiser Aluminium’s shares by 7.4 per cent with the purchase of 2,600 additional stock shares of the company, closing in at 37,500 shares in all, costing US$3,531,000.
