Reliability Notes
Official company source. Useful for operational self-description and facility location. Environmental and financial claims on the marketing site should be weighed against EPA records, court filings, and independent reporting — especially given the September 2025 Chapter 11 filing and ongoing asset sale (see us-magnesium-bankruptcy). Employment and supply-chain decisions should not rely on the website alone during bankruptcy.
