JW Aluminum Upgrades Equipment
JW Aluminum (Goose Creek, SC), a leading domestic supplier of flat rolled aluminum, is investing $32.8 million to optimize equipment for foil production. This investment includes projects to enhance their existing rolling mills, annealing equipment and slitters to improve quality, reliability and throughput for the fin stock, honeycomb foil and flexible packaging markets. These upgrades will also further automate control systems in their foil producing facilities in Russellville, AR; Saint Louis, MO and Williamsport, PA. The expansion of the Goose Creek facility, which is focused on the sheet side of the business, is already underway and on schedule to be complete in 2020.
“These investments reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement and customers in our core markets,” said Ryan Roush, the chief commercial officer of the company. “We’re investing to insure we remain a trusted and preferred supplier of quality sheet and foil now and for generations to come.”
