Muscle Shoals plant honoured Manufacturer of the Year
Constellium’s Muscle Shoals plant has been honoured as Alabama’s 2020 Large Manufacturer of the Year.
Created by the Business Council of Alabama and the Alabama Technology Network, the award recognizes the state’s manufacturing enterprises that demonstrate superior performance in customer focus, employee commitment, operating excellence, continuous improvement, profitable growth, and investment in training and retraining employees.
“We are proud and grateful for this award, which is a true testament to the outstanding journey and performance of our Muscle Shoals’ facility,” stated Chris Smith, president of Constellium’s Muscle Shoals and Bowling Green plants. “We look forward to continuing to grow in Alabama.”
One of Constellium’s largest sites, with over 1,200 employees, Muscle Shoals is an aluminium rolling facility and a beverage can and automotive recycling centre. With the widest strip mill in the US, the plant produces aluminium can sheet and auto body sheet substrate. Muscle Shoals’ recycling facility is one of the largest recyclers of used aluminium cans in the world and has the capacity to recycle the equivalent of 20 billion cans per year.
Emirates Global Aluminium has begun the construction of a pilot plant to convert bauxite residue, a waste stream from alumina refining, into manufactured soil.
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has announced the start of construction for the largest aluminium recycling plant in the United Arab Emirates.
The machining of aluminium for components in electric vehicles is challenging. Innovative solutions and tools are required to meet the industry’s standards.
