Ingeniso ye-Alcoa kwikota yesibini ka-2026 inika uphawu oluxubeneyo kwiimarike ze-aluminium zehlabathi.

I-aluminiyam enkulu yaseMelika ifumene ukunyuka kwengeniso ngama-31% unyaka nonyaka ukuya kwi-$3.97 yeebhiliyoni kwikota yesibini, ukunyuka okuphezulu okwerekhodi kwikota nganye ngenxa yokunyuka kwamaxabiso e-aluminiyam kunye nokuqaliswa kwakhona kwamandla okunyibilikisa angasebenziyo ngaphambili.

I-EBITDA yayo ehlengahlengisiweyo kwicandelo le-aluminium ifikelele kwi-$1.07 yezigidigidi, idlula uqikelelo lwabahlalutyi besivumelwano.

Sekunjalo uhlaziyo olusezantsi kuisikhokelo sonyaka wonke semveliso ye-aluminaiye yanciphisa iziphumo zekota ebezinamandla ngaphambili.

Isikhokelo sichaza ngokuthe ngqo iingxaki zokusebenza kwindawo yokucoca i-alumina ePinjarra eNtshona Ostreliya.

Ukungazinzi kwemveliso kwaqala ukuvela kwesi sikhungo ngasekupheleni kukaMatshi, kwaye ukuphazamiseka kokunikezelwa kwegesi yendalo okwabangelwa yiNkanyamba iNarelle kwabangela ukuba ingxaki yemveliso ibe mandundu ngakumbi.

Njengenye yezona zinto zinkulu zemveliso ye-alumina e-Alcoa, iPinjarra yindawo ebalulekileyo kwikhonkco lobonelelo lwehlabathi, njengoko i-alumina isebenza njengesixhobo esibalulekileyo esiphakathi phakathi kokumbiwa kwe-bauxite kunye nokunyibilikiswa kwe-aluminium yokuqala.

Le nkampani ngoku iceba ukuveliswa kwe-alumina ngo-2026 ye-9.5-9.6 yezigidi zeetoni ze-metric, ukusuka kwingqikelelo yayo yangaphambili ye-9.7-9.9 yezigidi zeetoni ze-metric, kunye nokunciphisa okufanayo kwisikhokelo somthamo wokuthunyelwa.

Okuphawulekayo kukuba, i-Alcoa ayitshintshanga i-aluminium yayo yokuqala kunye neethagethi zokuthunyelwa kwayo.

Ubonelelo oluqinileyo lwe-alumina luhambelana nemvelaphi ebanzi yeixabiso le-aluminiyam elihlala lihleliamandla.

Amaxabiso e-aluminium ehlabathini lonke anyuke malunga nama-20% kwiinyanga ezili-12 ezidlulileyo, eqhutywa kukuphazamiseka kokunikezelwa kwemveliso kuMbindi Mpuma kunye nemvumelwano yemarike yokuba imfuno evela ekwandisweni kwegridi yombane, ukwakhiwa kweziko ledatha kunye notshintsho lwamandla lwehlabathi luya kudlula amandla okuvelisa anyukayo.

I-Alcoa's isandula ukubhengeza ukuthengwa kweebhiliyoni ezi-5.6 zeerandi zeerandi zeerandi ze-South32 ze-alumina, i-aluminium kunye ne-bauxite kuyomeleza umbono wemfuno yexesha elide kushishino, nangona imida yexesha elifutshane isaqhubeka.

Ukuqina kobonelelo oluphezulu kuya kudluliselwa kancinci kancinci kwiimarike zemveliso ze-aluminium ezenziwe ngobumba ezisezantsi.

Kubathengi bemizi-mveliso kwihlabathi liphela, oku kuthetha uxinzelelo oluqhubekayo lweendleko kwiishiti ze-aluminium ezigobileyo, iibhari eziqinileyo ezikhutshiweyo kunye neetyhubhu ezitsalwe ngaphandle komthungo, izixhobo ezisisiseko zezixhobo ze-semiconductor, iziseko zamandla avuselelekayo kunye neenkqubo zokukhanyisa iimoto.

Intsebenziswano enobuchule kubathengisi ibe yinto ebalulekileyo kumaqela okuthenga kulo lonke elaseMntla Melika, eYurophu naseMzantsi Asia ukunciphisa ukuguquguquka kwamaxabiso kunye nemingcipheko yexesha elingaphambili.

Sinikezela ngozinzo kubathengi xa bejongana nokungaqiniseki kwemarike.

Njengomthengisi odibeneyo ogxile kwiamashiti e-aluminium, iibhari, iityhubhukunye nomatshini wokulungisa i-CNC ochanekileyo, sigcina amanqanaba e-inventory acwangcisiweyo e-prime-grade 5052, 5083 kunye nezinye ii-alloys eziphambili, zonke zenziwe ngokuhambelana ngokungqongqo nemigangatho ye-ASTM kunye ne-EN.

Iqela lethu loomatshini bangaphakathi linikezela ngezinto ezigqityiweyo ezinganyamezelwanga kakuhle, kunye neengxelo zovavanyo olupheleleyo lwezinto ezifunekayo kuzo zonke iiodolo ukuqinisekisa ukulandeleka ngokupheleleyo.

Ukukhangela izinto ngendlela ekhawulezayo kukhusela iishedyuli zakho zemveliso kunye nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali.

Nxibelelana neqela lethu lokuthengisa lobuchwephesha namhlanje ukuze ucele ikowuteshini eyenzelwe wena ngokweemfuno zakho ze-aluminium kunye noomatshini abakhethekileyo, kwaye uvale umbane onokuthenjwa kwizicwangciso zakho zemveliso zesiqingatha sesibini sowama-2026.
