  • Closure Systems International;
  • Consumer Products, including Reynolds Wrap branded products;
  • Flexible Packaging; and
  • Reynolds Food Packaging.

In total, these packaging businesses have approximately 9,300 employees in 22 countries around the world. Alcoa will continue to operate its flat-rolled can sheet products serving the packaging market.

Alcoa received approximately $2.5 billion in cash from Rank in the sale. An additional approximately $200 million is expected by April 2008 when regulatory and other approvals are received for a small number of facilities. Lehman Brothers acted as financial advisor to Alcoa on this transaction.
