May 28 /Alcoa has launched new websites for two of its major markets - Primary Metals (http://www.alcoa.com/ingot/en/home.asp ) and Alumina and Chemicals (AWAC) (http://www.alcoa.com/alumina/en/home.asp ). These new sites outline Alcoa's capabilities, solutions the company offers, locations and nameplate capacity for Alcoa's aluminum smelters and alumina refineries worldwide, and news from these markets.

"There is no company in the world with more experience in mining, refining, and smelting aluminum than Alcoa," said G. John Pizzey, executive vice president and group president of Alcoa Primary Products. "There is no better way for customers to understand our industry leadership more quickly than a global snapshot of our capabilities. We want to be the starting point of choice for the manufacturers of aluminum products worldwide, and with these new websites customers will see that we are a global source for their global needs."

In addition to these two new websites, Alcoa has also created more than 30 countries sites, location-specific websites, a global map tool, community highlights and customer success stories on www.alcoa.com
