FAIRMONT, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), traveled to Fairmont, W.Va. where she visited Novelis, a world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling. During the visit, Senator Capito met with company leadership to discuss recycling and tax policies, including the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Act of 2023 and the American Investment in Manufacturing (AIM) Act, that have the potential to help the industry become more efficient and provide innovative solutions to market challenges.
“It was great to get a firsthand look at the creative ways Novelis is working to provide innovative solutions to the recycling, aerospace, automotive, and packaging markets in West Virginia and discuss different approaches to make the industry more efficient and create more jobs,” Ranking Member Capito said. “I look forward to working with Novelis through my work on the EPW Committee to improve policies that maximize the value of industry leaders in West Virginia and across our country. The operations happening at this facility are incredibly important for many sectors of our economy, and I thank Novelis for the great work they are doing in our state.”
“Novelis enjoyed hosting U.S. Senator Capito and members of her staff at our aluminum rolling and finishing facility in Fairmont,” Ryan Falkenstein, Novelis Fairmont Plant Manager, said. “Novelis appreciates the senator’s continued focus on those issues of importance to Novelis and the aluminum industry, including recycling and tax policy.”
