Aluminerie Alouette is an aluminum manufacturing company based in Sept-Iles, Quebec, Canada, on the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. With the successful start-up of a major expansion in 2005, the Alouette Aluminum Smelter, at 550,000 metric tonnes capacity per year, became the largest primary aluminum smelter in the Americas.

The creation of Aluminerie Alouette in Sept-Iles was officially announced on September 1, 1989. The smelter was built in less than three years and produced its first tonne of "grey gold" in June 1992.

Since then our Company has undergone a major expansion. Phase II got under way in September 2002 and was completed in May 2005. It was Quebec's largest private construction project and has become a world reference in terms of aluminum smelter construction and start-up.

We increased our annual production from 245,000 to over 575,000 tonnes per year and created 393 new permanent jobs. Alouette currently employs over 1,000 people and is the largest aluminum smelter in the Americas.
