A Calhoun County facility has seen its contract to provide aluminum to the US military renewed for another year.
Gaston-based Charleston Aluminum company has received a one-year maximum, $49.4 million contract to provide heat-treated aluminum sheet and plate materials for the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and other federal civilian agencies.
“These are indefinite quantity contracts from the government,” Charleston Aluminum vice president Tarek Whittick said. “There is no specified minimum. I forecast this year will be around $1 million. Quite frankly, these are relative times of peace and we don’t anticipate that it will go over that amount.”
Whittick said the contract total is based on the value of metals shipped. The metals are primarily shipped to military bases for use in the construction of military equipment.
The contract will expire May 31, 2014. The company will have the option to renew the contract for another year at that time.
