Novelis Inc. has announced that it is investing more than $7 million to hire 37 new employees and restart several pieces of idled equipment at its manufacturing facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. Novelis is actively seeking qualified candidates for available positions that include operators, mechanics, electricians, engineers and other operational leadership roles.
“Novelis has been a strong community partner here in the Wabash Valley for more than 60 years and this investment solidifies not only our leadership position in the aluminum foil market, but also our commitment to bringing new, sustainable jobs to this region,” said Ryan Smith, Plant Manager.
“Novelis contributes to our state’s strong and diversified manufacturing sector, which boasts more than 9,000 facilities across Indiana,” said Jim Staton, SVP and chief business development officer for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. “These manufacturers provide thousands of quality Hoosier jobs, and I applaud Novelis for being innovative and adapting to the current market to grow their operations.”
“Hoosiers are grateful for Novelis’ continued investment in Terre Haute. This is great news for the workers and economy of West Central Indiana as we work to make the U.S. more competitive in this industry including through expanded market access,” said Senator Todd Young.
“When workers are allowed to compete in a fair environment, everyone wins and our country flourishes. I’m glad to hear that Novelis is continuing to invest in Indiana and creating 37 new jobs for Hoosiers in Terre Haute,” said Senator Mike Braun. “Hoosier manufacturing is the foundation of Indiana’s pro-growth economy, and Indiana continues to be the destination for expanding and growing American business.”
“As the most manufacturing intensive state in the United States, hardworking Hoosiers generate billions of dollars in goods and exports for our country,” said Congressman Larry Bucshon. “This investment by Novelis builds on our robust manufacturing industry to strengthen our Hoosier economy, expand jobs in Terre Haute, and revitalize their facility. I want to thank Novelis for their investment in West Central Indiana and look forward to seeing their operation grow.”
