for Alcoa North American Extrusions
Summary
Alcoa North American Extrusions (NAE) views energy conservation as a means
of eliminating waste and increasing sustainability. Energy-efficient production
processes not only reduce the amount of money required to purchase energy,
but also yield benefits such as improved product quality, reduced equipment
maintenance, increased capacity, better throughput, and reduced environmental
impact. The development of a corporate energy conservation program has also
substantially increased energy awareness within Alcoa's workforce.Alcoa, Inc., is the world's leading producer of primary aluminum, fabricated
