Skana Aluminum

Skana Aluminum Company continues a long history of aluminum manufacturing in North America and along the Wisconsin lake shore. This history extends back to the 1900's, beginning with the formation of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company and the subequent establishment of the branded "MIRRO" cookware product line in 1917. In 1983 the company was sold to Newell/Rubbermaid, and today lives on as Skana Aluminum. In 2009, with the rolling mill assets suddenly available, Thomas Testwuide, Sr. and four friends came to Manitowoc to see and hear his dream to "purchase, rehabilitate and operate the shuttered rolling mill", bringing it back to life. By 2010 the group completed its acquisition, renaming the mill as Skana Aluminum Company. With doors opening for business on April 14, 2010, Skana began hiring and turning on the equipment. Our revitalized company places an emphasis on producing aluminum coil and blanks in the open market. The art of aluminum manufacturing is bred in the talented employees of this community. We are continuing the legacy of aluminum manufacturing on the lake shore by building a company, a community, and Friends!
