Texarkana Aluminum

What Texarkana Aluminum does

Texarkana Aluminum, Inc. is a privately held secondary aluminum producer based in Texarkana, Texas, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ta Chen International, Inc. (TCI), a diversified metals group. The company operates a fully integrated mill that transforms recycled aluminum and raw materials into rolled aluminum products, covering casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, leveling, and slitting under one roof. Its product portfolio spans the 1xxx (e.g., 1100), 3xxx (e.g., 3003, 3004, 3105), and 5xxx (e.g., 5052) alloy families, including a 3003-H22 bright finished tread product, with cold rolled coils produced up to 72 inches wide. Annual production capacity is stated at 300 million pounds of aluminum coil, supported by an original nameplate of 150,000 metric tons per year, slabs of 35,000-45,000 lbs, and hot rolled coils of 30,000-40,000 lbs.

The asset was acquired from Arconic in 2018 for $350 million after being idled for roughly ten years, then restored under TCI ownership through three successive capital programs totaling $759.5 million ($116.5M for 2019-2020 reliability and automation upgrades, $191M for the 2021-2023 cold rolling mill expansion, and $452M for the 2023-2025 integrated casting and hot rolling expansion). The site is staffed at approximately 300 employees and serves horizontal industrial demand across packaging, construction, transportation, and general manufacturing customers. Its commercial model is B2B direct sales supplemented by the TaChen.com proprietary internet order platform, which processes over 75% of daily transactions.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of aluminum coils in various alloys and tempers; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed and no direct revenue figure has been reported. Texarkana Aluminum holds ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, REACH, LEED, TCEQ, and Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certifications, and has published a Conflict Minerals Statement, positioning it for industrial buyers with strict sourcing and environmental compliance requirements. The company sells primarily into North America through its digital platform and direct branch sales channels.

Direct peers

• Kaiser Aluminum: US-based aluminum mill products company producing flat-rolled and extruded aluminum for aerospace/high-strength/industrial applications. Directly comparable in serving North American B2B industrial coil buyers with a focus on specialty versus commodity grades.
• JW Aluminum: North American continuous-cast and rolled aluminum coil manufacturer producing foil and light-gauge products. Direct peer in flat-rolled commodity aluminum coil, with overlapping end-markets in packaging and HVAC.
• Constellium: Global aluminum rolled-products producer serving aerospace, automotive, and packaging end-markets with similar alloy families (3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx). Most direct peer in serving industrial coil/strip customers demanding certification and precision gauge control.
• Granges: European-headquartered aluminum rolled-products producer serving automotive, HVAC, and packaging buyers. Comparable in product range (coil, sheet, strip) and customer profile, though primarily regional to Europe.
• AMAG Austria Metall: Austrian aluminum rolling producer (AMAG) making flat-rolled products for transportation, industrial, and packaging. Comparable integrated casting/rolling business model at similar scale to Texarkana's.
• Novelis: The world's largest aluminum roller and Texarkana's most direct competitor in flat-rolled aluminum coil/sheet for packaging, automotive, and construction. Acquired by Hindalco in 2007 and operates integrated rolling mills across North America, making it the benchmark competitor for coil volume and end-market mix.

Broad incumbents

• Hindalco Industries (Aditya Birla Group): Indian integrated aluminum producer and parent of Novelis, the largest global aluminum roller. Directly comparable via its rolling-products subsidiary, with broader upstream and downstream capabilities spanning the aluminum value chain.
• Norsk Hydro: Integrated global aluminum producer covering primary smelting, rolling, and extrusion. Serves the same downstream coil/sheet end-markets from a broader portfolio base — directly comparable rolled-products division but supported by primary metal production.
• Arconic: Former owner of the Texarkana facility (sold to TCI in 2018) and a major integrated aluminum sheet/plate/extrusion producer. Closely comparable technology and product footprint, serving aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets at scale.

Regional players

• UACJ Corporation: Japanese integrated aluminum rolling company producing flat-rolled coil and sheet across 1xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, and 6xxx series. Comparable product range with regional concentration in Asia, similar capacity-tier to Texarkana.
