Alcoa Electric's primary customer was Intel. Alcoa produced for Intel ceramic packages for Intel's Pentium chip. The new chip designs that Intel required no longer required the expensive ceramic packages. Intel found Asian companies to produce the less expensive plastic chip packages. Without Intel as a customer, Alcoa Electric went bankrupt and twelve hundred American employees lost their jobs.
