Century Aluminium proudly stands with President Donald J. Trump and his America First trade policies, which have been instrumental in ensuring a level playing field for American industry and workers and restoring the US industrial base. Those trade policies include the IEEPA tariffs addressed in today’s Supreme Court ruling, as well as the Section 232 steel and aluminium tariffs, which were not impacted by the decision and remain in full force and effect.

President Trump’s trade policies have strengthened our commitment to reshoring American production of primary aluminium – a critical metal for industries ranging from aerospace and automobiles to national defence. Since the Section 232 program was reinforced by President Trump a year ago, with no exemptions and no exceptions, Century Aluminum has taken decisive action to expand US aluminium production and create new American manufacturing jobs, including:

  • Immediately increasing total US primary aluminium production by almost 10 per cent through the expansion of our Mt Holly, S.C. smelter; and
  • Announcing plans to build the first new American aluminium smelter in close to 50 years with EGA, a project that will double US production and create over 1,000 permanent jobs and 4,000 construction jobs in Inola, Oklahoma. 

No company is investing more in US primary aluminium production than Century. Century is already the largest producer of aluminium in the United States, smelting nearly 60 per cent of the country’s primary aluminium, employing more American primary aluminium workers than any other company, and, thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the Section 232 program, we plan to invest billions more in new and expanded production at Mt Holly and our Oklahoma smelter project.

Century is grateful to President Trump for his unwavering commitment to American workers and American industry. Century remains committed to investing in America as the largest producer of this critical mineral for decades to come.
