Ormet Corp., based in Hannibal, Ohio, has announced its plan to restart two idled potlines at its Hannibal smelting facility. According to a press release from the company, the restart preparations will start right away, and the process is expected to be complete by the first quarter of 2011, bringing the smelter to full production capacity.
To support the restart, Ormet will be adding more than 100 positions at its Hannibal plant.
Mike Tanchuk, Ormet president and CEO, says, “We plan to produce about 80,000 metric tons of additional metal next year with this restart. While this is a very small amount of aluminum on a worldwide scale, this step is important to Ormet. We are very pleased to deliver this good news to about 100 families during the holiday season.”
