Alvance Aluminium put forward the plans to build a new casting factory to produce up to 100,000 tonnes annually of long round shapes called billets using recycled metal for use in the construction industry.
Draws for the opening rounds of the Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup, the Cottages.com MacTavish Cup and the Balliemore Cup throw up some mouthwatering ties over the course of the summer.
Alvance Aluminium says it is aware of the ongoing investigation by Environmental Health into the loading of spent carbon anodes onto one ship at Corpach harbour a few months ago.
The plans were announced last by Alvance Aluminium, operator of the Fort William plant.
The news comes almost four years to the day that GFG announced it had bought the smelter and accompanying hydro-electric scheme plus another hydro plant at Kinlochleven, together with 114,000 acres of estate lands, in a £330M deal from Rio Tinto Aluminium.
After news broke of the new plans for the smelter site, a number of local Corpach residents took to social media this week to voice their fears about any expansion of the port at Corpach as a result of the scheme.
In a new venture for the group, GFG Alliance is also tabling plans for a new water canning facility, located next to the Fort William plant, to package Scottish Highlands water into reusable aluminium cans.
GFG Alliance has given a categorical assurance there will be no negative impact on local jobs at the Lochaber smelter in Fort William as a result of the company’s consolidation of all its aluminium businesses into a single group to be headquartered in Paris.
