Aleris International, Inc. announced that it will be fully idling production at its Richmond, Virginia rolling mill due to the continuing downturn in the North American building and construction industry. Earlier this year, Aleris announced that it idled all production for third parties at the Richmond site and that all remaining production would be used for internal requirements only. With today’s announcement, Aleris will be ceasing all further production at the facility until industry conditions improve.
