Aleris International, Inc. announced plans to consolidate the operations of its Monterrey, Mexico facility into its Monclova, Mexico plant, which was part of the recently acquired Wabash Alloys, LLC. The company also announced that the operations of Wabash Alloy's Guelph, Ontario, facility will be consolidated into the operations of Aleris and former Wabash Alloys facilities.
The Monterrey plant produced specification aluminum alloys that were shipped in both ingot and molten form. The Guelph plant produced niche specification alloys which were delivered primarily in ingot form to customers in Canada and the United States.
"The closures are part of our ongoing initiatives to optimize our production footprint and maximize productivity while continuing to provide the highest quality products and services to our valued customers." said Ed Hoag VP and GM, Specification Alloys.
