Alcoa Inc.’s Excel Extrusion plant in Warren takes on a new owner who expects the aluminum plant to turn its products into gold. That’s according to the press release today.
According to Allen Cain, president of Golden Aluminum Extrusion LLC, the company that bought the Warren aluminum plant, they plan to grow the 130-worker plant by operating on a 40-hour weekly production by attracting new customers.
The press release says:
While not expecting to add workers in the near future, Cain said Golden does expect the plant to return to profitability by using Six Sigma standards for quality control and the Toyota Production System for lean, speedy production.
‘‘Customers are demanding shorter lead times and higher quality,’’ he said. ‘‘We’ll assure our customers we can provide them with quality products in the shortest time. We’ll look to cut inventories while increasing the velocity of products through the plant.’’
