At the beginning of 2005, all the rolled product activities of Alcan were spun off and grouped together as a newly established company – but we have a long tradition. Novelis operates the world's most advanced aluminium rolling mills and is the world's largest producer of rolled aluminium products, with US $7.8 billion in 2004 revenues and approx. 13,000 people working at 36 sites on four continents.

Novelis stands for speed-to-market, precision and its performance in technically sophisticated rolling to assure our customers success. We are shaping the products of the future through a powerful combination of a customer-focused culture and unrivalled industry capability.

We are the only company of our size and scope focused on aluminium rolled products markets, including:

• Construction and industrial products
• Beverage and food cans
• Automotive and transportation
• Foil and flexible packaging
• Printing

Novelis provides its customers with a regional supply of high-end rolled aluminium products throughout Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Novelis is a subsidiary of Hindalco Industries Limited, one of Asia's largest integrated producers of aluminum and a leading copper producer. Hindalco is a flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, a multinational conglomerate based in Mumbai, India.
