Our Business

Vale Inco is a leading producer of nickel, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brazilian-based Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Vale).

Formerly Inco Limited, we have operated continuously since 1902.

We are a Canadian-based global organization with operations and growth projects in 20 countries and a marketing network that extends to more than 40 countries. While we are primarily a nickel company, we are also an important producer of copper, precious metals, and cobalt and a major producer of value-added specialty nickel products.

Vale Inco is committed to the pursuit of sustainable growth by maximizing the potential of existing operations, realizing the promise of growth projects, operating with respect for the natural environment, and being an ethically and socially responsible company.

At year-end 2008, we employed approximately 12,000 people worldwide and in 2008 had net sales of over $6 billion.
