EGA Spectro Alloys to expand aluminium recycling plant still further
The latest expansion includes an additional scrap melting furnace and a batch homogeniser.
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) is expanding EGA Spectro Alloys in Minnesota, US.
This will take the aluminium recycling plant’s total capacity to 200,000 tonnes per year.
The new project will add an additional 45,000 tonnes of annual recycled billet capacity at EGA Spectro Alloys.
The first phase of the expansion has already been completed and added 55,000 tonnes of billet capacity. Construction of the first phase was completed in July this year.
The latest expansion includes an additional scrap melting furnace and a batch homogeniser.
Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, CEO of EGA, said: “The next phase of expansion at EGA Spectro Alloys is another important step in growing our production in the United States, where there is strong demand for both primary and recycled EGA-quality metal ‘made in America’.”
Demand for recycled aluminium in the United States is expected to reach some 8 Mt per year by 2034. The United States is currently the world’s second biggest recycled aluminium market.
The project is expected to be completed during 2027.
