Novelis’ Post

During the night of June 29-30, the Rhone river burst its banks after persistent heavy rainfall and flooded parts of the city of Sierre and other regions in the canton of Valais, in Switzerland. Our Novelis plant in Sierre was also affected by this natural catastrophe. Overnight, vast amounts of water entered the factory premises and production halls, also bringing mud and sand.   Thankfully, no one was injured. Our emergency protocols were immediately activated and executed in collaboration with the city fire brigades and official authorities. All employees were safely evacuated, production operations have been halted and access to the plant was restricted for two days for security reasons.   After safe access could be restored, today around 150 Novelis Sierre colleagues were back on site to help cleaning and restoring our plant. The amount of collaboration among our team and all people involved in the emergency response and recovery efforts was extraordinary.   A very heartful and big thank you to the Sierre fire brigade and other official authorities for helping us in the past two days in this difficult situation with removing water from the basements and restoring the plant area. We continue our tireless work to bring our plant back into good shape with great strides. We also extend our deepest sympathy to the Sierre community and all the people in the surrounding area and wish those affected a quick recovery.
