Our aluminum metal fabrication facility converts molten aluminum into value-added products such as continuous cast rod, extrusion billet and foundry ingot. The fabrication facility has the capacity to produce annually approximately 160 million pounds of rod, used mainly for electrical applications and steel de-oxidation; 286 million pounds of extrusion billet, used mainly for building construction and architectural and transportation applications; and 75 million pounds of foundry ingot, used mainly for transportation. During 2011, New Madrid produced 29% of the rod manufactured in North America and supplied 13% of the primary extrusion billet produced in North American primary smelter cast-houses. Molten aluminum that is not used in these product lines is produced as primary ingots for transfer to our downstream business or sale to other aluminum fabricators.
The sales division is headquartered in New Madrid with regional sales offices located in Tennessee and Texas. From New Madrid, the company's aluminum is transported to customers throughout the United States by rail or truck. Aluminum is also sold to overseas customers, and transported by rail and truck to seaports for placement on oceangoing vessels.
