In 1894, Pittsburgh Reduction Company was established. This company changed its name to Aluminum Company of America in 1907. By 1929, the name Alcoa had become a popular abbreviation – from the name of a company town set up in East Tennessee –, but it was not until January of 1999 that Alcoa became the company’s official name.
Paul O'Neill was chairman and CEO of Alcoa from 1987 to 1999, and retired as chairman at the end of 2000.
The shares of Alcoa are listed in the Dow Jones Industrial Average of the New York Stock Exchange.
