- Metals/Materials
Atlanta-based Novelis Inc., a provider of aluminum rolling and recycling, has announced plans to build an approximately $300 million automotive aluminum sheet manufacturing facility in Guthrie, Ky.
The greenfield facility, with an annual nameplate capacity of 220,000 tons, will include heat treatment and pretreatment lines that prepare aluminum for use in vehicle parts such as body-in-white, hoods, doors, lift gates, and fenders. The company expects to break ground in early spring and create about 125 jobs at the new facility, which is slated to open in 2020.
The facility will be located close to Logan Aluminum Inc., a Novelis joint venture in Russellville, Ky., and several nearby automotive manufacturing plants.
