Alcoa idles Evansville aluminium smelter

摘要

US-based aluminium producer Alcoa has permanently halted output of molten aluminium at its Warrick Operations facility in Evansville, Indiana. Aluminium production stopped on 24 March after the company said in January it would permanently idle the 269,000t/ yr smelter “to increase the competitiveness of its upstream business amid prevailing market conditions.”
