The Siberian-Urals Aluminum Company (SUAL) ( Russian: Сибирско-Уральская Алюминиевая компания (СУАЛ) / Sibirsko-Uralskaja Aljuminijewaja kompanija ) was founded in 1996 by the Russian oligarch Viktor Wekselberg and produces around 20 percent of the Russian aluminum oligarch . The group's largest bauxite deposits in Europe and control of the second largest Russian energy producer Irkutskenergo , which supplies the cheap energy for aluminum production, are particularly valuable .
The SUAL Group is a fully integrated aluminum company and is one of the ten largest aluminum producers in the world. It consists of 19 companies in nine regions of Russia and deals with the production of bauxite , aluminum oxide , primary aluminum , silicon as well as semi-finished and finished aluminum products.
The group generates $ 1.3 billion annually with 62,000 employees. SUAL extracts 4.4 million tons of bauxite annually, refines over 2 million tons of aluminum oxide and produces 890,000 tons of primary aluminum. The Siberian-Urals Aluminum Company (SUAL) was created in 1996 from the merger of aluminum plants near Irkutsk and in the Urals .
In March 2007, RUSAL SUAL took over together with the aluminum division of Glencore . RUSAL 66, SUAL owners 22 and Glencore hold 12% of the shares in the newly founded company.
