In 2022, Slovalco laid off most of its 450 employees, citing high energy costs.[1] Instead of concentrating on primary aluminium production, the company re-oriented to remelting with an expected annual output of roughly 75,000 tons.[2] In January 2023, the company shut down the remaining 10 cells, ceasing aluminium production in the city after almost 70 years.[3]
