Rio Tinto Alcan also generates hydroelectric power and makes specialty chemicals and packaging products. The company runs its business through four segments: Packaging, Engineered Products, Primary Metal, and Bauxite and Alumina. It produces about 35 million tons of bauxite, 9 million tons of alumina, and 4 million tons of aluminum products annually.
