Operations
Novelis is the world's largest producer of rolled aluminum sheet[14] with operations in 11 countries. The company divides its operations into four regions: North America, Europe, Asia, and South America. The regional headquarters are Atlanta, Zurich, Seoul and São Paulo. Novelis also has operations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, China, Malaysia and Vietnam.[15]
The company invested $100 million in its first manufacturing facility in China,[16] which opened in 2014.[17] In response to global demand for aluminum sheet for automotive, electronics and beverage cans, the company has announced capital investments including a $400 million expansion in Asia,[18] a $300 million expansion in Brazil[19] and $200 million expansion in North America. In July 2014, it announced that Reynolds Consumer Products Inc., a subsidiary of the Rank Group of New Zealand, purchased the North American consumer products division of Novelis, for CAD $33.75mn.[20]
Novelis recycles more than 70 billion used beverage cans each year.[21]
In May 2022, Novelis announced plans to invest $2.5 billion in a new, low-carbon, aluminum plant in Bay Minette, Alabama. Once complete, it will be the first fully integrated aluminum mill built for 40 years.[22]
On September 16th, 2025 the Oswego, NY facility suffered a fire in the "hot mill" section. The three-alarm fire brought down part of the factory’s roof, requiring 26 area fire departments to extinguish, according to the Oswego County fire coordinators office.[23][24]
