Constellium announced their Bowling Green, Ky. facility has been recognized as an “Exemplary Environmental Steward” by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Constellium’s Bowling Green plant produces flat-rolled aluminum auto body sheet products for the growing automotive market in North America and has a capacity of 100,000 metric tons annually.
The Tennessee Valley Authority recognizes local businesses that help make the region cleaner and greener. Constellium received two awards for “Lowest Carbon Emissions” and “Most Improved Carbon Emissions” based on its 2019 power consumption.
Since launching in 2016, the plant has made special efforts to reduce the amount of power it uses each day. Adjustments made to the CALP line, wastewater treatment facility, and positive air pressure system managed to significantly reduce the plant’s power consumption.

Our Bowling Green plant is an excellent example of our commitment to helping our automotive customers meet their lightweighting and emission reduction targets by producing advanced aluminum solutions in a sustainable way.”
