RUSAL owns the only aluminum works in Ukraine,
where high electricity prices halted aluminum manufacture in 2011. Now the
works produces rolled wire.
The capacities of the works are 20 thousand
tons of aluminum rolled wire per year. The Ukrainian authorities tried to find
a new investor, but to no avail.
“Rolled
wire shop at ZALK depends on the orders and cost-efficiency of its manufacture.
At present we do not intend to shut down the manufacture”, said a RUSAL
representative. (Ukrainian metal)
