RevoCast Aluminum Billets Ltd has begun production at its new aluminum remelting facility in Langley, British Columbia, adding more than 80,000 tons of annual billet capacity for the North American extrusion market. The company has successfully cast its first aluminum billet at the new Canadian facility, marking the start of operations at the plant.
The first billet was cast on August 1, 2026, following completion of the new remelting facility. RevoCast said the milestone was achieved through planning and collaboration among its employees, partners and suppliers, including Wagstaff, Inc., a manufacturer of aluminum direct-chill casting equipment, and HERTWICH Engineering GmbH, a supplier of aluminum casthouse equipment and technology.
The new facility has an annual production capacity of more than 80,000 tons, equivalent to approximately 176.4 million pounds, of aluminum billets. It has been developed to serve extrusion customers across the West Coast and Pacific Northwest, strengthening RevoCast’s production presence in the North American market.
RevoCast produces remelt billets in the 6xxx aluminum alloy series. Products manufactured at the facility are available in diameters of 178 mm (7 inches) and 203 mm (8 inches), with maximum sellable lengths of 7.3 metres (288 inches). The facility incorporates energy-efficient equipment and is designed to use high levels of recycled aluminum content. By focusing on remelt production and recycled feedstock, the company aims to reduce the carbon emissions associated with billet production while providing aluminum products for extrusion applications.
The start of production represents an expansion of RevoCast’s manufacturing capabilities and adds new billet supply capacity to the North American aluminum market. The company intends to serve customers requiring consistent billet supply for extrusion applications, particularly across western regions of the United States and Canada.
RevoCast’s remelt billet operations are focused on producing aluminum products that combine recycled content with the specifications required by extrusion customers. The new Langley facility has been designed around the company’s objective of supplying high-quality billets while making greater use of recycled aluminum in the production process.
The company said the successful first casting reflects the coordinated efforts of its employees, technology providers, equipment suppliers and project partners throughout the development and commissioning of the facility. Wagstaff’s direct-chill casting equipment and HERTWICH Engineering’s casthouse technology have contributed to the plant’s production capabilities.
With more than 80,000 tons of new annual capacity, the Langley operation is positioned to support the extrusion industry across the West Coast and Pacific Northwest. The facility’s location in British Columbia also provides RevoCast with a production base close to key North American markets.
The new plant forms part of RevoCast’s efforts to strengthen the North American aluminum supply chain through domestic billet production. By combining remelting technology, recycled aluminum content and energy-efficient equipment, the company aims to deliver billet products while addressing the growing focus on resource efficiency and lower-carbon manufacturing. With commercial production now underway, RevoCast will continue supplying 6xxx series aluminum remelt billets in multiple diameters and lengths to meet the requirements of extrusion customers across the region.
