California’s Industrial Renaissance: A Welcome Opportunity for Sustainable Manufacturing

At CASS, we believe California’s manufacturing legacy is not just worth preserving — it’s worth reimagining. That’s why we are encouraged by renewed efforts to revitalize domestic manufacturing, with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and creating quality middle-class jobs.

The recently announced Solano Foundry project by California Forever reflects a bold commitment to ensuring that high-quality, future-focused manufacturing continues to thrive right here in California. With plans for 2,100 acres of advanced manufacturing facilities, it represents a forward-looking commitment to building a cleaner, more resilient industrial economy and one that aligns closely with our values at CASS.

As a California-based aluminum manufacturer, we understand what it means to grow responsibly while remaining deeply accountable to the communities we serve. Our own expansion strategy is grounded in the following core principles:

• Modernizing Legacy Industries: Leveraging 100% recycled materials and clean processing technologies.

• Reinvesting in Local Jobs: Creating skilled, long-term employment opportunities through advanced, resource-efficient operations.

California’s future will be shaped by companies and partners that meet ambitious standards and invest for the long term. At CASS, we’re proud to be part of that future and we’re ready to collaborate with state and local leaders to continue strengthening California’s industrial foundation.

Together, we can demonstrate that advanced manufacturing and environmental responsibility are not at odds. In fact, they are powerful drivers of innovation, resilience, and shared economic prosperity.
