Alcan Cable, a business of London-based Rio Tinto, has announced that it will close its Roseburg, Ore., facility by the end of the year. The move is part of the company’s effort to consolidate its cable production facilities.
"This decision is difficult, but has been made necessary by the prolonged poor market conditions and outlook in the market," says Jack Miller, president of Alcan Cable. "Moving forward, Alcan Cable will focus on its North American production at its remaining cable facilities and continue to provide high quality cable products and service to our customers."
The realignment of manufacturing operations will address current and projected market conditions and give Alcan Cable the ability to expand production capacity at its remaining cable plants, according to a press release issued by the company.
Alcan Cable has established a severance program and an on-site out-placement center to assist employees in their transitions.
Alcan Cable is headquartered in Atlanta and manufacturers aluminum cable, modular wiring systems and rod and strip products and is a fully integrated aluminum cable supplier.
