THE BEGINNING

More than two decades ago, Jack Hockema, Kaiser Aluminum’s newly named CEO, communicated a vision for creating a culture and an environment to take the company to a higher level. His message was simple:

"Kaiser Aluminum is going to be Best in Class!"

Some folks might have taken such a statement as lip service. But at Kaiser, our managers and employees made it their mission, a guiding principle that shaped—and still shapes—every facet of how we do business. It’s become a key component in our metal. Part of who we are. From that moment, “good” has never been good enough. We’ve challenged ourselves each and every day to try harder, deliver more and continually raise the bar. In short, to be “Best in Class.”

Today, that promise is manifested in leading products recognized for unmatched quality and precision across the industry. An abiding pledge to delivering on-time, every time. And a passion for providing our customers the highest level of service to ensure their complete satisfaction. That’s the Kaiser Experience.

best in class means...

Highest
precision
tolerances
and purity

Consistency.
Consistency.
Consistency.

Superior
machinability

On time.
Every time.

Walking
the talk.

BUT DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

“We do a lot of problem solving together. We just pick up the phone and call. It allows us to make the best quality products and gives me peace of mind.”

- Carl Armbrister, CFO, Senior Aerospace AMT
