To this end, we used aluar annual reports, constructing data series related to some fundamental economic variables, such as labor productivity, stock of fixed capital, total capital advanced, the rate of profit, distribution and costs of production. Levels of production and capital valorization showed an important growth during the first decade of the century, after the crisis of 2001/2002, but manifesting a gradual stagnation during the last five-year period, in line also with the fall of the aluminum international price. A comparison with capitals of the global highest production level suggests that although aluar has a significant productivity and capitalization per worker, its absolute magnitude is far from the scale reached by the world's most concentrated capitals in this branch. El presente artículo investiga la valorización del capital de aluar, el principal productor de aluminio en Argentina, durante el período 2000-2017. Para ello se utilizan los balances consolidados respectivos y, a partir de los mismos, se construyen una serie de variables económicas relevantes, tales como la productividad laboral, el stock de capital fijo, el capital total adelantado, la tasa de ganancia, la distribución y los costos de producción. El ritmo de producción y valorización del capital de aluar mostró un importante crecimiento durante la primera década del siglo, con posterioridad a la crisis de 2001/2002, para luego ingresar en un paulatino estancamiento durante el último quinquenio, en consonancia también con la caída del precio internacional. La comparación con los capitales de mayor producción de aluminio a nivel global sugiere que si bien aluar presenta importantes niveles de productividad y capitalización por obrero, su magnitud absoluta se encuentra lejos de la escala alcanzada por los capitales mundialmente más concentrados de la rama. text/html application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/1555 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/1555/2191 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/1555/2215 H-industria.
