Dear Valued Supplier,
RE: Our Plan to Separate Into Two Strong Companies: “Alcoa” and “Arconic”
Last September, we announced that Alcoa is separating into two industry-leading, publicly-traded FORTUNE 500 companies:
§ Arconic: A multi-material, technology and innovation-driven value-add company and
§ Alcoa Corporation: A globally competitive, leading-edge upstream company
As you know, Arconic will include the three business segments that today comprise Alcoa’s Value Add portfolio: Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions. The new Alcoa will be comprised of six business units: Bauxite, Alumina, Aluminum, Cast Products, Energy, and Packaging. Both companies will be domiciled in the United States and listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
We are on track to complete the separation in the second half of 2016. We are working to make purchasing and payment processes as seamless as possible through this transition.
In early August, you may begin to see the new company names and separate addresses for transactions on Purchase Orders and in other documents. Some systems, including AlcoaDirect.com, will be unavailable during the first week of August as we transition to two companies. We will be publishing additional communications and reference materials on the “Sell to Alcoa” webpage (
Alcoa -- Supplier Information), so please periodically check this website for more updates.
All the best,
