Holly aluminum smelter. This historic milestone will increase total U.S. domestic primary aluminum production by approximately 10% and grow the Century Aluminum Mt. Holly workforce to over 600.
As a result of President Trump’s Section 232 national security tariff on aluminum, Century Aluminum is ramping up domestic aluminum production. Secretary Lutnick, Senior Counselor Dr. Navarro, Attorney General Wilson and Century Aluminum CEO Jesse Gary will deliver remarks commemorating the historic 10% increase in U.S. aluminum production and will be available for media interviews after.
The ribbon cutting portion of the event will also be live streamed through Aluminum Now’s YouTube channel. The live stream link is: https://www.youtube.com/live/Gcn3ICZ31dA.
