[SMM Aluminum Express News] Novelis is reducing production and cutting around 80 jobs at its Kingston, Ontario aluminum plant, citing the cost of US Section 232 tariffs on Canadian aluminum entering the United States. The cuts affect roughly one-third of the plant’s workforce, comprising 10 salaried positions and temporary layoffs of around 70 hourly workers. The Kingston facility will remain operational at reduced volumes, with hourly workers potentially recalled if production increases.
