• Resumen

  • The announcement comes at a time of strong fundamentals in alumina hydroxide end markets in North America. Nabaltec has been gearing up to reopen the plant this year, and acquired full control of Nashtec in preparation to the restart of operations.Market prices for alumina trihydrate (ATH), one of the main feedstocks for refined hydroxides, have been edging up this year due to a combination of factors including high demand, reduced supply in the non-metallurgical alumina space and volatility in smelter grade alumina (SGA) prices during 2017.
