Ormet Corp. CEO Michael Tanchuk announced the company's milestone of reaching full employment of 250 jobs just four months after announcing plans to reopen a dormant alumina refinery on the Mississippi River in Ascension Parish.
At roughly 330,000 square feet, the Ormet facility had remained silent for more than four years. In May, Ormet announced it would hire 250 people and invest $21 million to renovate the refinery. Production now is scheduled to start the first week of October, and shipments of the primary raw material, bauxite, already are arriving.
