ClearFlow Metalworks plans to establish a $28 million aluminum manufacturing facility in Russellville, Ky., creating 50 full-time jobs.

The company, which focuses on sustainable aluminum recycling and production, will develop the facility in phases. Phase I will include a secondary aluminum billet casting operation with an estimated annual production capacity of approximately 100,000 tons.

The facility will process recycled aluminum materials and produce aluminum billets for extrusion and other downstream manufacturing applications. The project will establish a U.S. manufacturing presence to serve domestic demand for aluminum products while supporting expanded recycling and production.

The company is investing in a newly constructed speculative building at Shelton Lane Industrial Park. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved a 15-year performance-based incentive agreement that could provide up to $1,000,500 in tax incentives, contingent on the company meeting investment, employment and wage targets.

Kentucky workforce service providers may also offer recruitment and job-placement services, customized training and job-training incentives.
