United Company Rusal (Russian: МКПАО «ОК РУСАЛ») is the world's second largest aluminium company by primary production output (as of 2016).[2][3] It was the largest until overtaken by China Hongqiao Group in 2015.[4][5] Rusal accounts for almost 9% of the world's primary aluminium output and 9% of the world's alumina production. Rusal was founded by major Russian industrialist Oleg Deripaska.
The United Company was formed by the merger of Rusal (Russian: Русский алюминий, romanized: Russkiy alyuminiy, lit. 'Russian aluminium'), SUAL, and the alumina assets of Glencore, completed in March 2007. According to its own statistics, Rusal accounts for 6.2% of the world's primary aluminium output and 6.5% of the world's alumina production, while operating assets in 13 countries over five continents, employing over 61,000 people across its international operations and offices.[6]
The company is incorporated in Jersey, where it has its financial centre, but its headquarters are in Moscow, Russian Federation. UC Rusal is a public limited company and its shares are traded on the Moscow Stock Exchange, Hong Kong Stock Exchange and European[ambiguous] Stock Exchange. Since 25 September 2020, the company changed its place of registration from Jersey to Kaliningrad, Russia.[7] In 2021 Rusal announced a proposal to demerge its high carbon assets and change its name to AL+.[8]
