According to foreign media reports, Novelis restarted its hot-rolling operations at its Oswego aluminum plant in New York State on Wednesday. Fires broke out at the factory in September and November 2025, and production has been suspended for nine months, triggering a supply crisis for U.S. automakers. Novelis has about a dozen automaker customers - Ford, General Motors, Strantis and others. Novelis said it is accelerating the rollout of standardized operating systems at the plant. The company's new rolling mill in Alabama is expected to be operational by the end of the year, which will further expand Novelis' production scale.
