When I worked for Alcoa, Reynolds was bought out by Alcoa. Their bauxite ore deposits were in Australia and Brazil. Some bauxite was refined in Trinidad and Tobago and there was a US refinery in Point Comfort, Texas. Most Reynolds wrap foil was rolled and packaged in Richmond, VA. The workers were union members of the Untied Steelworkers Local 400. Not sure where the aluminum slabs that are rolled are coming from. Most of the Alcoa and Reynolds smelters in this country are shut down. Most metal comes from Quebec because of the abundance on hydroelectric power. Most of those workers are also union members.

Bottom line, Reynolds wrap is made here and the raw bauxite is mined elsewhere because that's where commercially viable is found.
