Alcoa will invest $65 million at its Mosjøen smelter, Norway.

It plans to expand foundry production capabilities to include recycled content in the casting process at the facility.

The company said the investment provides strategic benefits by delivering low-carbon aluminium products for its customers, while incorporating post consumer recycled aluminium into its products for the first time.

The investment will expand and upgrade the Mosjøen casthouse, to increase production capacity by up to 75,000 metric tons.

It will also introduce a new open mould foundry casting line and melting furnaces.

The upgrade will also enable a broader foundry alloy portfolio, to offer greater flexibility in ingot size and format, expanded alloy diversity, and enhanced recycled content capabilities.

Alcoa President and CEO, William F. Oplinger, said: “The increased capacity, combined with recycling capabilities, positions Mosjøen as a cornerstone of low-carbon aluminium supply across Europe.”

Mosjøen is one of the largest industrial employers in northern Norway, with more than 700 direct employees.

The investment will help secure long-term activity, jobs and expertise in the Helgeland region, while also supporting local suppliers and contributing to broader industrial value creation in Norway.

The upgrade project is expected to be completed in phases, with commissioning and ramp-up scheduled to progress until the end of 2028.
