This aluminum smelter produces primary aluminum metal by the pre-bake reduction process. The facility began operations at the Wenatchee Works primary aluminum smelter in 1952, with four pot lines; it added pot line #5 during the 1980s. In 2004 the smelter's operators retired Pot Line #4. The smelter now contains a combined total of 608 reduction cells, with existing plant production capactity of 188,257 metric tons per year. In July 2001, ALCOA temporarily curtailed production (shut down 90% or more of its operations); Since January 2005, the smelter has been operating two pot lines (Line #1 and Line #5).
