Another fire has taken place at Novelis’ Oswego, New York facility on 20 November.
The fire follows a history of previous fire related incidents at the plant, including a small fire on 10 October, and a major fire on 16 September which cost Ford Motor Company an estimated headwind of up to $1 billion.
The fire on Thursday was swiftly contained, and the plant was safely evacuated with no injuries to employees, contractors or first responders.
The cold mill and heat treatment operations at the Novelis Oswego plant are now back up and running.
The facility continues to ship finished material to supply Ford.
Novelis will continue to leverage alternate sources, including its global network of plants and industry peers, to mitigate impact.
Novelis and Ford will provide updates as further details become available.
