General
information
- 1939: the construction of the plant was commissioned.
- 1940: earthworks were begun.
- 1943: the first aluminum was produced at the Stalinsk (Novokuznetsk) Aluminum Plant.
- 2001: the plant became part of the RUSAL company.
Today the plant is a large industrial complex with a production capacity of 215,000 tons / year and a territory of 138.85 hectares. The production of raw aluminum at the plant is carried out in six electrolysis buildings, where 515 electrolyzers are located.
Development strategy
The following strategic priority directions have been established:
- Optimization and reduction of production costs in order to comply with the company's target indicators;
- Improving the quality of products and their competitiveness in the global and domestic markets;
- Expansion of sales markets and an increase in the share of production of value-added products;
- Implementation of the company's environmental action plan.
The development strategy is based on the environmental focus. The modernization of production demands complete replacement of all electrolysers with improved units, which have higher technical, economic and environmental indicators, as well as equipping all potroom series with highly efficient "dry" gas cleaning units, which will be combined into a 2-stage system with existing "wet" gas purifiers with a purification efficiency of more than 99%. The planned volume of investments for the implementation of the environmental program for 2018-2024 is 5.0 billion rubles.

Social policy
The enterprise purposefully resolves issues of increasing wages, helping veterans, organizing charity events, medical and social services, cultural and sports recreation for employees and their families, and improving working conditions. The achieved level of average wages is one of the highest among the metallurgical enterprises of the city. In the context of a shortage of qualified personnel, "RUSAL Novokuznetsk" considers it an important strategic task to retain competent, professional employees who share the values adopted by the team at the company's enterprises. Creating comfortable working conditions, retaining highly qualified specialists, and developing a personnel reserve are of great importance.
