Globe Specialty Metals has taken on 90 staff to operate its silicon plant in Selma, Alabama, which re-opened on Friday.
“Globe Selma is back on its feet and standing tall,” said Globe CEO Jeff Bradley. “We look forward to a future in Selma that is bright.”
The Selma plant has an annual production of over 27,000 tons of metallurgical grade silicon and silicon ferro-alloys, supplying to manufacturers of aluminium, electronics, solar panels, silicon chemicals, the auto industry, ductile iron foundries and concrete products.
The company made the Selma plant idle in April of last year but reopened it with renovated machinery last October. As production picked back up the company added 90 more positions.
“The country and state have been through some tough times and this year is going to be tough too,” Bradley said. “But, we are going to keep jobs on our own soil.”
