For the fifth consecutive year, lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing leader Alcoa has been named the most admired metals company by Fortune magazine in its annual ranking on corporate reputation. Alcoa has been on Fortune’s Most Admired List since the publication began the annual ranking more than 30 years ago.

In addition, Alcoa received top scores in all key attributes: innovation, people management, social responsibility, use of corporate assets, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment value, quality of products and services, and global competitiveness.

As previously announced, Alcoa plans to separate into two, industry-leading publicly traded companies in the second half of 2016. The Upstream company will comprise five strong business units that today make up Global Primary Products: Bauxite, Alumina, Aluminum, Cast Products and Energy; the innovation and technology-driven Value-Add company will include the Global Rolled Products, Engineered Products and Solutions, and Transportation and Construction Solutions businesses.
