Albecour was created, and took part in the construction and operation of Aluminerie de Bécancour until its stake was sold in 1995.
A consortium of foreign aluminum producers was created to build Aluminerie Alouette of which Albecour held a 20% share.
Aluminerie Alouette phase 2 expansion took place and Albecour reduced its share to 13.33%.
Albecour sold half of its stake, reducing its holding in Aluminerie Alouette to 6.67%.
Albecour changed its name to QUALIUM.
