Hindalco to Acquire US-Based AluChem for $125 Million

Hindalco Industries, the Aditya Birla Group’s metals flagship, has announced the acquisition of a 100 per cent stake in US-based AluChem Companies, Inc. for US$ 125 million. The acquisition, through Hindalco’s wholly owned step-down subsidiary Aditya Holdings LLC, marks the company’s strategic foray into the specialty alumina segment. 

This deal positions Hindalco as the first Indian player to enter the low soda Tabular Alumina space, expanding its reach in high-performance alumina used in sectors such as EVs, semiconductors, and precision ceramics. AluChem operates three advanced manufacturing facilities in Ohio and Arkansas, with a total capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum and a robust presence in North America. 

“This acquisition is an important step in our global strategy to build a leadership position in value-added, high-tech materials,” said Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group. 

AluChem specialises in ultra-low soda calcined and Tabular Alumina known for their thermal and mechanical stability—critical to advanced industrial applications. The acquisition adds premium alumina grades to Hindalco’s portfolio and supports its aim to scale specialty alumina capacity to 1 million tonnes by FY30. 

“This is a pivotal step in strengthening our capabilities in next-generation alumina applications,” said Satish Pai, MD, Hindalco Industries. “AluChem’s advanced chemistry capabilities will enhance our global competitiveness.” 

The deal is expected to close in the next quarter, subject to regulatory approvals.
