Kaiser Aluminum is an American aluminum producer. The company was founded in 1946 by American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser.

Kaiser currently owns 12 fabricating plants that can produce more than 400 million pounds of aluminum annually. The company also owns a 49 percent interest in an aluminum smelter in Wales. The North American plants produce approximately 500 million pounds per year of value-added sheet, plate, extrusions, forgings, rod, bar, and tube.
Kaiser Aluminum is headquartered in Foothill Ranch, California. In 2005, it recorded revenues of roughly $1.1 billion and employed more than 2,000 people at 11 fabricating facilities throughout North America.
