 PROFILE
Despite its name Alcan Inc. (formerly Alcan Aluminium) makes more than just cans. The world's #2 aluminum company, Alcan mines bauxite (aluminum ore) and makes and recycles aluminum sheet, foil, wire and cable, and extrusions (doors, windows, auto parts). Alcan also generates hydroelectric power and makes aluminum-related specialty chemicals and packaging products. Alcan, which sells to the packaging, transportation, and construction industries, operates in more than 35 countries. Although its three-way deal with Swiss-based aluminum and packaging company Alusuisse Lonza Group (Algroup) and France-based Pechiney fell through, Alcan acquired Algroup in 2000. Former Algroup shareholders now own about 34% of Alcan.
