Century Aluminum Company specializes in the energy-intensive electrolytic reduction of alumina to produce primary aluminum metal. The company's operational footprint includes multiple U.S. smelters in Kentucky and South Carolina, as well as the Grundartangi facility in Iceland, which operates entirely on renewable energy. In addition to its core smelting operations, Century Aluminum maintains a carbon anode production facility in the Netherlands and holds a stake in the Jamalco bauxite mining and alumina refining joint venture in Jamaica. Its product portfolio features standard-grade ingots alongside value-added shapes like billets and slabs tailored for specific aerospace and automotive applications. Originally spun out of Glencore in 1995, the company leverages strategic power contracts and vertical integration to manage the cyclical nature of global aluminum markets.
