Summary
Century Aluminum’s Mt. Holly Smelter is back at full capacity after a dramatic comeback, churning out 230,000 tons of aluminum annually—up 10% nationally—thanks to a $50 million investment and U.S. trade policies. What started as a 2015 layoff of 300 workers has turned into a job boom: 150 new roles, with hiring beginning in September, bringing total employment to 750. This resurgence, fueled by federal tariffs and company commitment, is creating generational careers and community pride. The milestone will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday featuring top U.S. officials, including the Secretary of Commerce and Attorney General, as the plant proves strategic policy can spark real industrial revival.
