KUBAL (SWEDEN)
 Kubikenborg Aluminium
(Kubal) is one of the largest industrial facilities in Central Sweden and
the only primary aluminium producer in the country.
In 1942, an aluminium smelter was built in Sundsvall. Aluminium production
capacities were expanded intensively and in the 1960s a new aluminium
production facility was constructed.
In the middle of the 1980s, the smelter was modernised using the latest
technologies of that time, increasing production capacity from 2,000 to 100,000
tonnes per annum, which satisfies half of all aluminium demand in Sweden.
Current production capacity of Kubal is 128,000 tonnes of saleable aluminium
per annum.
Approximately 50% of aluminium produced at Kubal is supplied to customers in
Sweden, and the remaining 50% goes to European customers. The workforce of the
smelter is about 340 people.
