We’re not just rebuilding domestic aluminum production—we’re pioneering it.

As the first fully entrepreneurial, greenfield remelt casthouse dedicated to high-quality, low-carbon aluminum billets, Adaptiq is breaking new ground to end reliance on foreign supply chains and deliver premium, sustainable product directly to U.S. extruders.

Powered by clean hydroelectric energy in Hamilton, Ohio, our state-of-the-art 150, 000 metric ton facility will produce the greenest billets in America, create 75 direct jobs (and hundreds more indirectly), and drive real economic resurgence. This is American innovation at its boldest: revitalizing manufacturing, slashing carbon footprints, and securing a self-reliant future—one billet at a time.

Join the movement to Make Aluminum Great Again in the United States.

Where We Will Be

Adaptiq Aluminum is proud to call Hamilton, Ohio, our home—a vibrant city with a rich industrial heritage and a bright future. Located in Butler County, just 30 miles north of Cincinnati, Hamilton is the 10th largest city in Ohio, boasting a population of approximately 63,000 residents. The city has made an impressive economic comeback, with ongoing growth in employment (up 0.7% from 2022 to 2023) and a focus on innovation, making it an ideal hub for advanced manufacturing and sustainable industries.

Our state-of-the-art facility will be situated in the Hamilton Enterprise Park, one of the largest industrial/office parks in the tri-state region (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana), spanning approximately 265 acres and owned by the City of Hamilton. This shovel-ready site provides the perfect foundation for our greenfield project, attracting forward-thinking companies and fostering economic development in the area.

We are incredibly fortunate to partner with the City of Hamilton, whose welcoming and gracious support has been instrumental in our journey. By leveraging the city's hydroelectric power—from facilities like the Meldahl and Greenup plants on the Ohio River—we ensure that Adaptiq Aluminum will be the greenest billet producer in America, powered by clean, renewable energy that minimizes our carbon footprint and supports environmental stewardship.
