Sadly in the past few years when Bell Bay Aluminium has featured on the program it’s been about struggles with worldwide costs, a high Australian dollar and jobs losses.
They’ve all been attempts to try and cut costs and keep the doors of the biggest employer in the region open.
This week the news was more positive with the announcement of a multi-million dollar boost to its operations and the operations of a local business.
Not only was Bell Bay Aluminium able to source essential smelter equipment from a local provider for the same price as a Chinese supplier, it will result in double the aluminium production for the same electricity costs.
At the local family-run business CPT Engineering it will mean more workers and a market advantage to offer its services worldwide.
Bell Bay's Ray Mostogl shares the news but touches on the challenges that still disturbs the Tasmanian smelter.
