About Alcoa Wheels Arconic

Leading brand of aluminium wheels

 

We advanced the transportation industry with the first forged aluminium wheel in 1948, and have been reinventing it ever since.

ALCOA® WHEELS is a brand and product of the Howmet Wheel Systems business unit, which is part of Howmet Aerospace Inc. (formerly known as Arconic Inc).  
 
In 2020, Arconic Inc. separated into two independent companies (Howmet Aerospace Inc. and Arconic Corporation). For the European markets, Howmet produces ALCOA® WHEELS in its manufacturing facility in Hungary.
