SUGAR LAND--October 5, 2015--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Beset by low prices amid a global oversupply, aluminum smelters have gone through a painful period of cutbacks and closures.

Industrial Info is tracking 11 active U.S. aluminum production projects worth $2.48 billion that are slated for kickoff in fourth-quarter 2015.
