has agreed to sell Southern Graphic Systems, its packaging design and imaging business, to Citigroup Venture Capital Equity Partners (CVC) for approximately $410 million. The sale is expected to close by the end of December 2005.

The business became part of Alcoa through the acquisition of Reynolds Metals Company in 2000 and is being sold as the business is not core to the company.
