Novelis restarts Oswego hot mill
Written by Stephanie Ritenbaugh
Novelis Inc.’s hot mill in Oswego, N.Y., is back online after fires in 2025 damaged the facility.
“Restarting the Oswego hot mill is an important step forward for our operations and, most importantly, for our customers,” Steve Fisher, president and CEO, said in a statement. “We are deeply grateful for the flexibility and partnership our customers have shown, as well as the extraordinary efforts of our employees, suppliers and industry peers who came together to support continuity of supply.”
The restart is a few weeks earlier than estimated.
The first fire occurred on Sept. 16. A smaller fire broke out in October. A third blaze happened on Nov. 20. No employees were injured.
During the company’s earnings call in May, executives said Oswego production interruptions caused rolled product shipments to be an estimated 145 kilotonnes below expectations for the full fiscal year, resulting in an estimated negative impact of $104 million on adjusted EBITDA.
