Century Aluminum Commences Expanded Production at Mt. Holly Smelter – 17 April 2026
Summary: Century Aluminum has officially begun hot metal production at its expanded Mt. Holly, S.C. facility. This project is expected to increase total U.S. primary aluminium production by 10% by June 2026. For North American extrusion firms, this increase in domestic supply, coupled with the upcoming Oklahoma smelter project (in partnership with EGA), provides a strategic buffer against international shipping disruptions and high import tariffs.
