Novelis Announced Sudden Closure of its Fairmont Plant

The closure will result in nearly 185 job losses, said city officials.

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): According to media sources, an American industrial aluminum business based in Atlanta, Georgia, plans to permanently close its Fairmont aluminum rolling and recycling facility by the end of June this year. Nearly 185 jobs would be lost as a result of the shutdown, according to city officials.

In less than a year, the business has closed its second West Virginia operation. The corporation had said earlier in March of last year that it would be closing its Buckhannon location.

As part of its efforts to consolidate its U.S. operations, Novelis announced in a statement that it has made the tough decision to terminate operations in Fairmont, West Virginia. The organization is dedicated to treating its employees' transition with the utmost care and respect since it values their commitment and hard work.

Novelis claimed to have the honor of belonging to the community. It thanked the state of West Virginia and the city of Fairmont for letting the business operate in the area for a number of years.

The announcement is undoubtedly a setback for the community, according to the City of Fairmont. The city's citizens were urged by Mayor Anne Bolyard to view this news as a launching pad for the city's successful future rather than as a setback.
