Alcan consolidates
production
Alcan Cable, a business of Rio Tinto, is to
consolidate its cable production facilities
to improve the performance of its cable
business. Alcan will close its Roseburg,
Oregon facility by the end of 2010.
“This decision is difficult, but has been
made necessary by the prolonged poor
market conditions and outlook in the
market,” explained Jack Miller, president
of Alcan Cable.
“Moving forward, Alcan Cable will focus
on its North American production at its
remaining cable facilities and continue
to provide high quality cable products
and service to our customers.”
Alcan Cable’s focus will be on ensuring
a seamless transition during the plant
closure process, while the realignment
of manufacturing operations will provide
Alcan Cable the flexibility to expand
production capacity at its remaining
cable plants.
