MetalX LLC announced that aluminum industry veteran Stan Gish has joined the MetalX executive team as president and chief operating officer of MMX Aluminum, the company’s new aluminum slab business to be built in Defiance, Ohio.
With a distinguished career in the aluminum industry, Gish brings decades of experience and leadership that will be invaluable as MetalX continues to expand its operations and capabilities.
His career began at Logan Aluminum, where he developed a strong foundation in the industry. He has spent time with both Alcan Aluminum and later Tri-Arrows Aluminum, where he served as vice president of operations.
Following his tenure at Tri-Arrows, Gish formed a consulting practice that focused on industry project development and due diligence work, which ultimately led to an opportunity to partner with MetalX on the concept for an independent slab casting operation to produce high-recycled content slab consistent with future sustainability objectives.
As president of MMX Aluminum, Gish will initially oversee all aspects of the design, engineering, construction and operation of the slab business.
