$450 Million ATALCO, Federal Partnership Revitalizes Louisiana Facility, Secures Critical U.S. Supply Chain

GRAMERCY, La. – Governor Jeff Landry and Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois issued the following joint statement:

“This announcement marks a significant win for Louisiana and for the nation. ATALCO’s $450 million strategic partnership with the United States government will revitalize a critical industrial facility, retain skilled jobs and position America to produce essential materials domestically at a time when supply chain security has never been more important.

“By strengthening U.S. alumina production and launching the country’s first large-scale primary gallium production capability, this project advances national security, supports advanced manufacturing and reduces dependence on foreign supply chains dominated by China.

“We thank President Trump and our federal partners for their leadership and focus on rebuilding America’s industrial base. This investment reflects the power of alignment between federal priorities and state-level execution.

“Louisiana is committed to moving quickly, working collaboratively and supporting projects that deliver real, lasting impact. This decision underscores the confidence companies and the federal government have in our state and reinforces Louisiana’s role as a strategic hub for the materials and manufacturing that power America’s future.”
