CHICAGO, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Century Aluminum Company (NASDAQ: CENX) restarted production this week in the second potline at its Nor\u00f0ur\u00e1l smelter in Grundartangi, Iceland, several months earlier than planned.<\/p>\n

Employees energized the first pots in Grundartangi\u2019s second potline and will continue restarting the remaining pots on an accelerated schedule to reach close to full production by the end of July. Potline two represents about two-thirds of the plant\u2019s total capacity. The restart comes after specialists, collaborating with the designers and the manufacturer of the equipment, made repairs to the transformers following an unanticipated failure. Permanent replacement transformers have been ordered and will be installed upon expected delivery this fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud of our Grundartangi team, who worked tirelessly to resume production under difficult circumstances,\u201d said Jesse Gary, President and CEO of Century Aluminum. \u201cThe team demonstrated resolve and resilience in undertaking repairs to resume production faster. Coupled with our recent production expansion at Mt. Holly, Grundartangi\u2019s restart reinforces Century\u2019s commitment to meeting our customers\u2019 needs with the urgency the marketplace demands.\u201d<\/p>\n
