Overview

Like the aluminum products it manufactures and sells, Norwegian industrial giant Norsk Hydro is both nimble and flexible. The company focuses almost exclusively on aluminum production, though it still has a toehold in renewable energy. It produced about 1.4 million metric tons of aluminum in 2010. Its operations include casthouse products, building systems, extruded and rolled products, and automotive and transport products, distributed worldwide. Norsk Hydro ranks among the world's top aluminum producers, along with Canada's Rio Tinto Alcan, Russia's RUSAL, and the US's Alcoa. In 2011 Norsk Hydro acquired the Brazilian bauxite mining and alumina refining units of Vale SA for $5.7 billion.
