Novelis Inc. is a global US company for rolled aluminum products based in Atlanta , which emerged from Alcan in 2005 and has been part of the Indian Hindalco Industries since 2007 .
With around 11,400 employees at 25 locations, Novelis is the world's largest manufacturer of rolled aluminum products (as of 2014). Novelis products are predominantly semi-finished and intermediate products , so customers are not end users, but industry and trade. For example, beverage cans, sheet metal for the automotive industry, roof and facade elements for the construction sector and lithographic sheet metal are manufactured.
development
Novelis was founded in 2005, but previously existed as the Rolled Products division of Alcan . These activities were spun off and combined in the new company Novelis. Novelis Inc. is actually a Canadian company, but it does business from Atlanta.

The spin-off of Novelis helped Alcan, among other things, to meet demands from American and European antitrust authorities. The European Commission was promised to spin off the German plants in Göttingen , Neuss-Norf and Nachterstedt in order to allay concerns about Alcan's position of power in the aluminum industry after the takeover of the Pechiney and Alusuisse companies .
In February 2007 it was announced that the Indian aluminum and copper manufacturer Hindalco Industries , based in Mumbai, had submitted a takeover bid for Novelis amounting to 6 billion dollars. The acquisition was completed in May 2007. The acquisition of Novelis will make Hindalco the world's largest supplier of rolled aluminum products.
