Alcan is one of the two largest aluminum bullion manufacturers in the world, alongside ALCOA. It is often abbreviated as Alcan. Its head office is in Montreal, Canada. It has an integrated production system that covers everything from mining bauxite, the raw material for aluminum, to smelting, rolling, and tertiary processing, and controls approximately 34% of the world's aluminum smelting capacity and approximately 45% of the bullion trade volume. Alcan's history began in 1928 when it separated from ALCOA. At the time, criticism of ALCOA's monopoly was growing in the United States, and the company listened to the government's advice and separated and reorganized its Canadian subsidiary, Northern Aluminum Co., as Aluminum Ltd. Co. in 1928, and at the same time transferred all of its overseas business holdings to the new company. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
ALCOA(アルコア)社と並ぶ世界二大アルミ地金メーカーの一つ。アルキャンと略称されることが多い。本社モントリオール(カナダ)。アルミニウムの原料であるボーキサイト採掘から製錬,圧延,3次加工まで一貫生産を行い,世界のアルミ製錬能力の約34%,地金貿易量の約45%を支配する。アルキャンの歴史は1928年にALCOA社から分離独立したことに始まる。当時,アメリカでALCOA独占体制への批判が高まり,同社は政府の勧告をいれ,28年にカナダの子会社ノーザン・アルミナム社Northern Aluminum Co.をアルミニウム・リミテッド社Aluminium Ltd.Co.として分離改組し,同時に全海外事業の持株をも新会社へ移管したもの。
