Votorantim Metais - CBA: Leadership in the aluminum production in Brazil
We have been producing aluminum in Brazil since 1955. From this date, we have built the largest integrated factory in the world and we have acquired absolute leadership in the internal market. To manage natural resources and offer higher service levels at competitive prices, we have become independent in the supply of bauxite and produce most of the energy we consume, highly exceeding the world energy self-sufficiency average.
Currently, we try to improve every day, seeking and achieving higher and higher levels of satisfaction, quality and production together with our clients in Brazil, Latin America, Asia, Europe and the United States.
We create quality of life by processing mineral resources.
Aluminum: a metal which is always, and increasingly, present in our lives
Aluminum is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and is also the youngest metal; it has been produced on a commercial scale for about 150 years.
Its production exceeds the sum of all the other non-ferrous metals and its numerous applications bring lightness, performance and modernity to our lives. In addition to being extremely useful, aluminum is infinitely recyclable and can be re-used countless times.
In the purchase of consumables on which production depends, the partnership relationship is a supplier’s differential.
We, at Votorantim Metais – CBA, know about that and we have strategic alliances with our clients, working for the success of each of our business partners.
Those who purchase our products, take our strength:
- Technological development turned to each client’s needs;
- Consumable self-sufficiency, high production capacity and comprehensive production;
- Natural resources management and eco-efficiency: our link for each sustainable chain;
- Employment, income and sustainable development generation in Brazil.
Environmental Responsibility
VM Factory - CBA, in Alumínio - SP seeks a permanent upgrading in modern operational methodologies to comply with the national and international standards regarding the balance between industrial activities and the environment.
The company has and puts into practice environmental management standards, and uses the most advanced equipment and anti-pollutant technologies in all the sectors which make up its metallurgy structure and production lines. Moreover, it extends its policies and initiatives to the fields of ecological awareness and environmental training of its employees, family members and community, in a general manner.
VM – CBA invests in projects destined to the treatment of effluents, atmospheric pollutants and solid waste and has the supervision and approval of the most important and most representative official environmental control bodies.
All the locations with aluminum industrial processes have dry and humid gas treatment, based on the most modern technologies to control the rate of atmospheric pollution emission.
