Aluminum Smelter Heading Back To Full Capacity

Century Aluminum of Ravenswood has begun restoring production on one of its pot lines just seven weeks after it was shut down. The line was shut down earlier this summer during contract negotiations between the company and the United Steelworkers, which approved a new contract in early August. The pot line equals approximately 25 percent of the plant’s production. When the line is back in operation in late October, the aluminum smelting plant back will be back to full production.
