New Aluminum Remelting Facility Begins Billet Production

RevoCast Aluminum Billets Ltd., a manufacturer of recycled aluminum billets, has begun production at a new aluminum remelting facility in British Columbia, adding more than 80,000 tons of annual billet capacity to serve the North American extrusion market.

The company has successfully cast its first aluminum billet at its new remelting facility in Langley, British Columbia, marking the start of operations at the Canadian plant.

The first billet was cast on August 1, 2026, following the completion of the new facility. RevoCast said the milestone resulted from planning and collaboration among its employees, partners, and suppliers, including Wagstaff, Inc., a manufacturer of aluminum direct-chill casting equipment, and HERTWICH Engineering GmbH, a supplier of aluminum casthouse equipment and technology.

The aluminum remelting facility has an annual production capacity of more than 80,000 tons (176.4 million pounds) of aluminum billets and is designed to serve extrusion markets on the West Coast and in the Pacific Northwest.

RevoCast produces remelt billets in the 6xxx aluminum alloy series. The billets are available in diameters of 178 mm (7 in) and 203 mm (8 in), with maximum sellable lengths of 7.3 m (288 in). The facility incorporates energy-efficient equipment and is designed to use high levels of recycled content while reducing carbon emissions associated with billet production.

The company aims to deliver high-quality aluminum billets while strengthening the North American aluminum supply chain.
