Novelis’ Oswego Works plant has begun constructing a third metal processing line in anticipation of growing demand for aluminum sheet by the nation’s automotive industry.
A source who requested anonymity said work has begun on establishing another continuous annealing solution heat (CASH) treatment line.
Construction workers are taking advantage of mild fall weather conditions to erect the addition.
Novelis, the world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, recently commissioned a $200 million expansion of its rolling operations in Oswego.
The expansion increases the company’s North American capacity for producing aluminum sheet for the automotive industry by 240,000 tons, five times the company’s existing capacity in the region.
Novelis began construction on two new high-performance aluminum-processing CASH lines for automotive applications at its Oswego facility in 2011 in response to escalating demand for automotive aluminum sheet in the United States. The company added more than 100 jobs at the Oswego plant as a result of the expansion.
The source said additional jobs will be created as a result of further expansion. Cheryl Ascenzi, spokesperson for Novelis, said the company is not ready to make an official announcement regarding current expansion work.
