FOIL PRODUCTION BACK ON RAILS

The former aluminum works of Kanaker, which was renamed Armenal in
2000, reopened yesterday after 23 months of retrofitting and
re-equipping. The re-equipping of the works belonging to Russian Rusal
Company required $70 million.

Vice-president of Rusal-Armenal Company, Aleksander Livshits said that
the works will henceforth produce foil of a higher quality increasing
the production to 25.000 tones a year. Thanks to new equipments the
foil production will be zero-discharge with minimum threat to the
environment.
