              Slovalco to partially curtail production

              The Board of Directors at Hydro’s majority-owned Slovalco primary aluminium plant in Slovakia has decided to recommend to the shareholders of the company to curtail maximum 20% of the plant’s primary aluminium production, responding to the weakening market environment. The decision is pending final approval by Slovalco’s General meeting.
