Biographical/Historical note
Northern Aluminium Company (Noral) was incorporated in England in 1909. It began by selling aluminium products produced in America but during the 1920s acquired aluminium production facilities. In 1939 the company established works at Rogerstone, near Newport, Monmouthshire, in response to the increased need for arms production. In 1958 the Rogerstone site was expanded. In 1960 Northern Aluminium became Alcan Industries Limited and in 2004 Alcan's Rogerstone works still produce coils of aluminium alloy. The Northern Aluminium Company produced the in house magazine Noral News, 1950-1962. Following the renaming of the company the magazine was relaunched as the Alcan Magazine in 1962.
