The Tiwai Point smelter has hit a record in production after 354,030 tonnes of saleable aluminium was made last year.
New Zealand Aluminium Smelters general manager Ryan Cavanagh announced the record today, the highest level since 2007 when 352,976 tonnes was produced.
"This is an achievement every employee should be very proud of and it demonstrates the dedication of the NZAS team,'' Mr Cavanagh said.
The record is more than four times the amount of aluminium produced at the smelter in the year following its opening in 1972, where 85,272 tonnes was produced.
