Canadian producer Alcan reported a drop in sales volumes in the third quarter of this year due to the closure of the Steg smelter in Switzerland and an outage at the ISAL smelter in Iceland.

The company had previously announced the closure of the 44,000tpy Swiss smelter by the end of Q2 2006, while ISAL lost one 70,000tpy potline in June due to a transformer failure. It was restarted in September.
