Kaiser Aluminum Company Description
Kaiser Aluminum went on a diet, slimmed down considerably, and now operates just 11 fabricated products manufacturing plants in the US and Canada and one minority-owned aluminum smelting facility in the UK (Anglesey Aluminum). Kaiser's main customers are in the aerospace, engineering, and transportation markets. Following on a 2002 filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the company sold its bauxite and alumina mining businesses and closed up shop in its commodities marketing unit. Kaiser emerged from Chapter 11 in mid-2006. Since then, the company has initiated several expansion projects at its aluminum fabrication facilities, increasing production capacity.
