Aluminum Dunkerque, the biggest primary aluminum in France, said that the company planned to cut its production by 22% in the fourth quarter in response to soaring energy prices.
The company will close 54 of the 264 electrolytic cells and reduce the amperage at other electrolytic cells, which will directly reduce the production of hot metal by 14,000 tons by the end of the year.
Therefore, Aluminum Dunkerque will increase the production of recycled aluminum in order to slightly offset this drop, reducing the impact on its customers.
