Hydro is investing $15 million in its Henderson, Ky., facility to deliver certified recycled aluminum products to the automotive industry and further reduce the environmental impact from production. This investment will enhance Hydro’s position as a leading producer of low-carbon recycled aluminum in North America. The investment will support two key projects. Hydro will install a new homogenization furnace to improve the plant’s capabilities to meet the specifications of the growing U.S. automotive market, enabling Hydro Henderson to produce a greater volume of advanced alloys using recycled metals with a lower carbon footprint.  

Whether homogenizing aircraft aluminum after casting or solution heat treating wrought and cast automotive and aircraft components, end users demand the best in heat-treat furnace performance.

Hertwich Engineering received an order for the supply of a modern batch homogenizing furnace from Hydro Aluminium in Commerce, Texas.
