Overview
About Century Aluminum
Century Aluminum Company is a publicly traded, integrated producer of bauxite, alumina, and primary aluminum, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (NASDAQ: CENX). It is the largest producer of primary aluminum in the United States, operating smelters in the U.S. and Iceland, casthouse and production operations in the Netherlands, and serving as majority owner and managing partner of the Jamalco alumina refinery in Jamaica. Aluminum is designated a critical mineral, and Century is central to securing U.S. domestic supply. In 2026 the company joined with Emirates Global Aluminum on the Oklahoma Primary Aluminum project in Inola, Oklahoma, the first new U.S. smelter in nearly 50 years, supported by a U.S. Department of Energy grant and designed to produce over 500,000 tonnes annually, including roughly 20,000 tonnes of high-purity aluminum for defense applications. Century’s smelting operations also position it within broader critical-minerals and gallium-recovery discussions.
