The Issoire site in France is an important facility for Constellium and the aerospace industry in the Auvergne region. The 96 hectare site employs 1350 people and produces 83,300 tons of rolled aluminum products annually. Issoire focuses on recycling aluminum scrap and is one of the largest rolling mills and foundries for aerospace plates and parts in the world. Recycling is a core part of Issoire's operations and helps create a virtuous recycling circle for the aerospace industry.
