Bonnell Aluminum, a subsidiary of Tredegar (NYSE:TG), has partnered with the Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC) and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to create an industry-specific Apprenticeship Program. The program aims to offer potential workers a career path in aluminum extrusions by developing skills in a structured, nationally accredited program with potential DOL funding.
The program, launched in 2023, consists of three phases:
- Phase I: Focuses on recruiting and training Industrial Maintenance Technician apprentices in a two-year program
- Phase II: Set to roll out in 2025, offering education for aluminum extrusion press operators and die shop technicians
- Phase III: Will add skilled trades such as CNC operation, robotics, and welding
Carl Czarnik, VP of Operations for Bonnell Aluminum, stated that the program benefits both participants and the company by helping identify, develop, and retain talent while allowing apprentices to learn a skilled trade at no cost.

Bonnell Aluminum, a subsidiary of Tredegar (NYSE: TG), has lauded the Biden administration's recent proclamation aimed at strengthening the rules for qualifying for trade benefits between the U.S. and Mexico. This new mandate requires aluminum imports to meet specific 'smelted and cast' criteria to be exempt from the Section 232 Tariff. It blocks preferential treatment for aluminum imports where the primary or secondary smelting or the most recent casting took place in Belarus, China, Russia, or Iran. The regulation aims to address unfair trade practices involving subsidized metals from these countries. For more information, refer to the July 10, 2024, press release by The Aluminum Extruders Coalition.
Tredegar (NYSE: TG) announced an update on the sale of its flexible packaging films business, Terphane, to Oben Group. The Brazilian General Superintendence of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (SG-CADE) issued a non-binding opinion recommending rejection of the transaction.

Tredegar CEO John Steitz expressed confidence in a positive outcome, emphasizing the cooperative approach with Brazilian authorities. The final decision is expected by November 18, 2024. Tredegar had 2023 sales of $705 million and operates globally with around 1,900 employees.
Tredegar reported first quarter 2024 net income of $3.3 million compared to a loss in the same period last year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for Aluminum Extrusions decreased, while PE Films and Flexible Packaging Films showed improvement. The sale of Terphane is pending approval. Debt levels increased due to higher working capital.
