Under the direction of legendary American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, the company entered the aluminum business in 1946 when it leased two government-owned aluminum facilities in the state of Washington.Over the course of the next three decades, the Oakland, California-based company grew to be a global producer with ownership interests in all phases of the aluminum industry: the mining of bauxite, the refining of bauxite into alumina, the production of primary aluminum from alumina, and the manufacture of fabricated and semi-fabricated aluminum products.By the 1970s, the company had also diversified into a variety of non-aluminum industries. However, in the 1980s, the company re-focused on its core operations in aluminum and divested much of its non-aluminum businesses. During the 1980s, the company made large capital investments to modernize plants and equipment
