Bens Run, West Virginia

Founded in 1989 by Olin Corporation to recycle and reduce scrap metal at its plants, the Bens Run facility later became a part of Ormet Corporation. Aleris acquired the Bens Run facility in 2005 when it acquired certain assets from Ormet. The facility produces pyramid- and cone-shaped deoxidizers used in the steel industry that help remove impurities during the steel-making process. In addition, the facility produces aluminum ingot in multiple alloys, and manufactures recycled secondary ingot (RSI) and sows.
