Ormet Corporation historically operated as a significant producer and seller of primary aluminum and associated products within the United States. Established in 1956, the company's main operations included providing aluminum sows and alumina, primarily to commodity traders, from its facilities, which were notably headquartered in Hannibal, Ohio. The company ultimately sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2013, leading to the sale of its assets, and its bankruptcy case was dismissed in December 2014.
