production level
Created in 1993 under an agreement between the Sayanogorsk smelter, Italian engineering company FATA, and the US-based Reynolds Metals Company (one of the world’s largest producers of aluminium-based packaging materials). SAYANAL is Russia’s largest producer of foil and packaging.
Aluminium for SAYANAL’s production needs is supplied by Sayanogorsk Aluminium Smelter, located in the vicinity.
In 2017, the rolling-mill shop was modernised. As a result, ten additional annealing furnaces were installed and the rolling mill was upgraded, leading to a 10% production capacity increase to 44 ktpa as of 2018.
Development plans
Finalisation of the design review for constructing the second foil rolling mill under the program aimed at increasing the facility’s capacity to 100 ktpa.
