When it opens in mid-2023, the new extrusion press will service China's automotive and electric vehicle markets and create roughly 75 new jobs. The ASI certification encourages responsible production, sourcing, and handling of aluminium. It also covers the plant's extrusion operations, die shop, anodizing process, and value-added processes.
