Norandal U.S.A. Inc. was established in 1979 when Noranda, Inc., purchased the Archer aluminum foil plant in Huntingdon , TN. This expanded Noranda's operations capabilities to include rolled aluminum products. The formation of Norandal U.S.A. Inc. was just the beginning. In 1989, Norandal U.S.A Inc. acquired National Aluminum's foil business with plant locations in North Carolina and Arkansas. In 1996, Norandal commissioned the world's first thin-gauge continuous caster at our Huntingdon, Tennessee plant. And in keeping with our vision, strategy and tenacity to be the world's leader in our field, Norandal put all its resources to work in constructing a new $240 million ultra-modern foil plant in Huntingdon, which opened for production in January 2001.
