Alcoa awards Storvik contracts to increase production at Mosjøen aluminum plant

Recently, the multinational Alcoa announced the award to the company Storvik as the beneficiary of major contracts to increase production capacity at the Mosjøen aluminum plant. The subsidiary of U.S. giant Alcoa, known as Alcoa Mosjøen, also revealed that Storvik Group has been awarded several major contracts. The contracts are related to previously announced investments to increase production capacity at the Mosjøen smelter. Storvik considers the value of the contract to be significant.

The Mosjøen, Norway job at Alcoa will involve a long-term project consisting of the complete refurbishment of about 8,000 anode yokes. This is a great process as these parts are critical to aluminum manufacturing. Work has also started and there will be collaboration between Alcoa Mosjøen and other organizations until mid-2025.

Storvik CEO Stein Kjartan Vik is excited to have become the chosen supplier. “We are humbled and proud that Storvik has been chosen as the supplier. We are highly motivated to ensure that projects are delivered to the highest standards and within the specified timeframe.” .

During the past few years, the Storvik-based company has been responsible for maintenance at several sections of Alcoa Mosjøen. Since 2018, Storvik Mosjøen has been responsible for the repair of cathode pot shells and anode yokes.

Storvik has taken a major step to consolidate its presence in Mosjøen by making significant investments. These included the construction of a new office and workshop building by the end of 2020. It has also secured an option for an additional 7 acres of land and is now planning further expansion of its business in Mosjøen.
The signed contracts are important for Storvik Mosjøen AS, which will receive strong support from its parent company, as all business areas of Storvik will be involved. Alcoa Mosjøen plant manager Roy Hammer said, “We look forward to continuing the collaboration with Storvik. The growth investment for Alcoa Mosjøen is an important project that will have a positive ripple effect throughout Helgeland and make Alcoa more robust for the future.”
