Aluar, Argentina's sole primary aluminium producer, is looking to enter the Brazilian market and may build a plant in the country. The company will postpone the final phase of the primary aluminium expansion at its Puerto Madryn smelter - to 520,000 tpy from 460,000 tpy - to focus on increasing extrusion billet capacity. The additional billet will be mainly for the Brazilian market, where demand is booming and imports of several aluminium products, including ingot and billet, are increasing.
