Century Aluminum

Century Aluminum hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for a planned 50% production capacity increase at its Mount Holly, South Carolina smelter, involving a $60 million investment and creation of 100 new jobs.

Century Aluminum plans to invest $50 million in 2021 to restart half of a second pot line at its Mount Holly smelter in Goose Creek, South Carolina, increasing annual aluminum output capacity to 140,000 tons initially and eventually to 170,000 tons. The expansion will add 70 jobs and follows a new power deal with Santee Cooper.

Glencore and Century Aluminum Company finalized the sale of 150,000 metric tons of Natur-Al low-carbon aluminum over five years to Austrian firm Hammerer Aluminium Industries. The aluminum is produced at Century's Norðurál Grundartangi plant in Iceland using 100% renewable energy.
