US-based Novelis on Wednesday announced that it had sold off 50 per cent of its stake in the Ulsan facility in South Korea for $315 million to form a joint venture with Japan’s Kobe Steel, a producer of aluminium rolled products.
 
The joint venture (JV), to be named Ulsan Aluminum, will have each company remaining responsible for its metal supply and commercial relationships, Novelis said in a release. The JV transaction is expected to close in September 2017, subject to customary closing conditions, it added.
 
Novelis is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aditya Birla Group’s flagship company Hindalco Industries.
