Primary Aluminum: Dedicated to manufacturing, this segment procures alumina, other raw materials, supplementary inputs, and electrical power to produce and market a range of aluminum and related items like carbon, aluminum alloys, and other electrolytic aluminum products. 3. Trading: Functioning as a commercial arm, this segment facilitates the trade of a wide array of commodities such as alumina, primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum goods, other non-ferrous metals, coal, and essential raw and supplemental materials. It also provides logistics and transportation services to external customers. 4.
