The upgrade modernized the basic systems and process optimization loops (Level 1 and Level 2), including automation virtualization, enhanced IT security, and migration of the process database from Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server to reduce licensing costs.

The rolling mill has now resumed three-shift operation, with the first aluminum strip produced meeting all commercial quality standards.

Founded in 2017, Ulsan Aluminum is a joint venture between Novelis and Kobe Steel, with an annual aluminum sheet and strip production capacity of 400,000 tons.
