Novelis Inc. is one of the leading manufacturers of automotive aluminum, globally. The company is focused on maintaining its position in the automotive aluminum market by adopting varied strategies, such as new product launches, expansions, and acquisitions. For instance, in August 2015, the company developed a series of alloys, namely, Novelis Advanz for manufacturing critical safety components of automobiles. Use of this series of alloys reduces weight of automobiles significantly as compared to high strength steels that are used in automotive applications. These alloys are used for manufacturing bumper systems, crash ring components, and door intrusion beams of automobiles. In March 2015, the company signed a long-term collaboration agreement with Henkel Adhesive Technologies (Germany) for development of advanced bonding technologies to enable use of aluminum in the high volume automobile market. The company aims to combine its expertise of aluminum manufacturing with surface treatment technologies of Henkel to address challenges pertaining to processing and application of aluminum in automobiles.

The company has been focusing on expansions to strengthen its market position. In September 2015, the company completed the expansion of its Tennessee (U.S.)-based facility, which supplies aluminum sheets to various Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as Ford Motor Company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and General Motors. The facility features rolling mill technology, which enables the company to control the production of aluminum sheets according to the market demand. It also has a recycling center that reduces expenses and carbon footprints. The company invested USD 275 million to carry out this expansion. In September 2015, the company restarted its two casting pits in Texarkana casthouse by investing USD 6 million to meet the increasing demand for aluminum slabs from the automotive industry of the North American region.
