Alcoa is the world's leading producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum and alumina.
Citing improved end-market demand, Alcoa Inc increased its outlook for 2010 global aluminum consumption on Monday, with China, not surprisingly, expected to grab the lion's share of global supply.
Alcoa Inc said Monday it posted a second-quarter profit as it sold more aluminum in the commercial vehicles, packaging and construction markets.
Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc will enhance its position in China through strategic partnerships and possible mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with competitors and peers, a top company official said on Tuesday.
