The transaction includes foil manufacturing plants in Toronto, ON, and Vancouver, BC, in addition to sales offices and distribution facilities in Montreal, QC; Mississauga, ON; and LaGrange, Ga.
Marco Palmieri, senior VP and president, Novelis North America said the consumer foil products business is a successful part of its company but it is not aligned with the company’s growth strategy.
“Our primary focus is to continue our growth in the premium markets of automotive, beverage cans and specialty products, and to expand our recycling leadership," he said.
“Over the past three years, Novelis has invested $1.7 billion in global expansions to serve these markets.”
The sale of Novelis' consumer foil products business is subject to receipt of regulatory and other customary approvals. The consumer foil products business includes approximately 200 employees.
