## Resource

Century Aluminum just unlocked a major win—boosting U.S. aluminum output by 10% with full operation of its expanded Berkeley County plant, now humming at 230,000 tons annually and adding 150 new jobs. This isn’t just a factory milestone—it’s a strategic move to shrink global supply chains, fortify national resilience, and spark economic ripple effects across South Carolina’s manufacturing ecosystem. For the company, it’s a bold step toward rebuilding America’s industrial backbone right here at home. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
