The mill is designed to have an annual production capacity of 650,000 tonnes of finished products, serving the sustainable beverage packaging, automotive, and common alloy industrial sectors.
"We are extremely excited to announce Columbus, Mississippi as the location for our new next-generation recycled aluminum flat rolled mill," said Mark D. Millett, Chairman, President, and CEO. "We are eager to expand our presence in Columbus, and we deeply value the warm welcome and support that we have received from the community.”
The Mississippi Legislature approved financial assistance for the project through the Mississippi Major Economic Impact Authority.
