Moscow, 27 May 2025 – RUSAL, one of the largest global aluminium producer, is expanding its thin gauge foil capacity for food packaging applications. By upgrading the С-3/2 finishing foil mill, SAYANAL foil plant will be able to increase its thin gauge output by 10-12%, whereas Ural Foil plant, for the first time in its history, is starting to embark on this advanced production.

Krasnoyarsk, April 17, 2025 - RUSAL, one of the world's largest primary aluminum producers, has produced a number of slabs intended for manufacturing of aluminum cans using more than 50% scrap. The Krasnoyarsk Aluminum Smelter project was implemented using metal produced using inert anode technology.

Moscow, March 20, 2025 - RUSAL, one of the world's largest aluminum producers, is for the first time in the industry's history switching its aluminum production to anodes using environmentally friendly petroleum pitch on a commercial scale. Coal tar pitch is traditionally used in anodes during electrolysis all over the world; the industrial use of petroleum pitch, which significantly reduces the emission of harmful substances, was previously considered impossible. RUSAL has invested about 100 million rubles in scientific research and development of petroleum pitch.

Moscow, 15 March 2024 – RUSAL (SEHK: 486; Moscow Exchange: RUAL), a leading global aluminium producer, announces its results for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Moscow, 27 February 2025 – RUSAL, one of the world's largest aluminium producers, is setting up a pilot production facility for scandium oxide with an annual capacity of 1.5 tonnes. Scandium is a valuable rare earth metal, and RUSAL was the first in the world to develop and implement aluminium-scandium alloys. These alloys are used in the production of ultra-lightweight components for civil shipbuilding, railway car manufacturing, and 3D printing of high-tech prosthetics. The total global production of scandium oxide is estimated at 20-25 tonnes per year.

Moscow, 17 February 2025 – RUSAL, one of the world's largest aluminium producers, has integrated four of its Russian smelters into a programme focused on processing and incorporating aluminium scrap into primary metal production. The Volgograd Aluminium Smelter — the pioneer and leader of this initiative — increased its recycling volume by 74%. The use of scrap helps reduce the carbon footprint of both the metal and its end products, while highlighting one of aluminium’s strategic advantages — the ability to be infinitely recycled without any loss of quality.

Moscow, 10 February 2025 – RUSAL, one of the world's largest aluminum producers, received an ESG ranking from the Chinese rating agency China Chengxin Green Finance Technology (CCXGF).

Moscow, 4 February 2025 - RUSAL, one of the world’s largest aluminium producers, has deployed artificial intelligence to enhance the microstructure analysis of aluminium ingots. This proprietary technology reduces analysis time from several hours to just 15 minutes, streamlining quality control and minimizing repetitive manual tasks.

Moscow, 16 January 2025 – RUSAL, one of the world’s largest aluminium producers, has successfully developed primary aluminium with vanadium levels reduced to trace amounts. This breakthrough in inert anode technology significantly enhances aluminium’s electrical conductivity, making it an ideal material for energy-efficient applications.
