Established in 1959 as a joint venture between General Alumina Jamaica Limited and Clarendon Alumina Production Limited (CAP), Jamalco has a rich history and expertise in the field. Their journey began with bauxite mining, and in 1963, they successfully exported their first shipment of bauxite. Over the years, Jamalco expanded its capabilities and started alumina production in 1972 at a refinery in Halse Hall, Clarendon. With continuous upgrades, the refinery's production capacity reached an impressive 1,416,700 million metric tonnes per year. Jamalco's ownership structure has evolved, with Alcoa initially managing the joint venture. However, in December 2014, global commodities company Noble Group acquired Alcoa's stake, while CAP retains its 45 percent ownership. As part of their operations, Jamalco mines bauxite and refines it into alumina. On average, it takes 2.5 tonnes of bauxite to produce one tonne of alumina. The alumina is then exported to aluminium smelters, where it plays a vital role in producing one tonne of aluminium metal. Jamalco's mining sites are strategically located in South Manchester and Harmons Valley, while their refinery is situated in Halse Hall. They have a dedicated port at Rocky Point for the shipment of alumina. Driven by their commitment to excellence, Jamalco aims to be recognized as The Best Alumina Producer. They continually strive for improvement in all aspects, including delivering world-class alumina, exceeding customer expectations, maintaining cost-effectiveness, and ensuring safety, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility. With their rich history, expertise, and commitment to excellence, Jamalco remains a leading brand in the bauxite mining and alumina production industry. ## Industries - 🏭 Metals and Mining _(under Heavy Industry and Engineering)_ - 🏭 Heavy Industry and Engineering ## Links - [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/jamalco) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idEfXXc6Fp/w/154/h/57/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1774827599592) - icon _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idEfXXc6Fp/w/200/h/200/theme/dark/icon.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1774827599668) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Green Haze | #029642 | accent | | Black | #000000 | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - Georgia — asset _(custom)_ - var(--bs-font-sans-serif) — asset _(custom)_ ## Imagery - banner _(primary)_ — JPEG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idEfXXc6Fp/w/1502/h/1126/idw-qnhwV0.jpeg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1774827600094) --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
