MOSCOW — Russia’s Rusal, one of the world’s largest aluminum producers, is expanding sales of low-carbon products in Japan and other parts of Asia.
In addition to signing a preferential supply contract with Kosei Aluminum, an auto parts maker in the city of Toyota, in central Japan, Rusal has agreed to supply aluminum to a Taiwanese aluminum alloy maker.

Rusal is the main company in the En+ Group, which includes energy and metals companies.
