The Chief Executive of the Volta Aluminum Company says the company is very serious about contributing its quota to the country’s industrialization.
According to Emmanuel Lartey, VALCO, as a result of its new focus, is now not as keen on profits.
He told Joy Business the company’s vision is to ensure that it is able to utilize local bauxite as part of an integrated aluminum industry.
“The new VALCO is not going to look for alumina in the western world, we are going to look at adding value to our bauxite, turn it into alumina and then convert the alumina into aluminium,” he stated.
The company has resumed production after it was shut down for almost two years. Mr. Lartey also explained that the company will also embark on a massive recruitment of new hands in addition to the old hands that were recalled.
