Alcoa Sticks With a System of Success

With nine flexible packaging plants around the globe, Alcoa provides high-quality rotogravure printing on films, foils, and paper. In addition, Alcoa Flexible Packaging manufactures specialty cartons and printed film shrink sleeves, as well as printed, coated, and laminated rollstock for overwraps, blister backing, lidding, and pouching. Finally, Alcoa Flexible Packaging provides custom thermoformed packaging using a broad range of quality films. While Alcoa also produces engineered products, flat-rolled products, primary metals, alumina, and chemicals and more, its packaging and consumer segment—of which Alcoa Flexible Packaging is one operating business unit—made up 25.5 percent of the company's $23.5 billion in revenues last year.
