Alcan plans another $50M investment in W.Va. plant

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — CHARLESTON, W.Va. （AP） - Alcan Rolled Products says it plans to invest $50 million in its Jackson County plant, provided the facility meets the objectives of a turnaround plan.

Last year, the company spent $38 million on upgrades at the aluminum rolling plant in Ravenswood.

Alcan spokesman Nicolas Brun told The Charleston Gazette that the turnaround plan includes an injury-free workplace, making targeted plant investments, developing strategic customer relationships, improving competitiveness, and providing open and ongoing communication.

Brun says the company's goal is to remain a key employer in the region.

The Ravenswood plant is Jackson County's largest employer. It employs 940 workers.
