National Copper and Smelting are closing their Huntsville and Ardmore, TN facilities.

According to a release from National Copper, the company’s parent companies Kothar Group and Cyprum Metals plan to close the National Copper Facilities in Huntsville and Ardmore.

The release was sent and addressed to staff members.

The release said the final day of operation for the plants is approximately July 24th.

National Copper begin operation in 1916 in Cleveland Ohio but moved to The Rocket City in 1982. In 1985, a group of investors from Birmingham purchased the assets of the original Ohio corporation.

The company currently operates an over 90,000 square feet facility in Huntsville with an array of manufacturing capabilities.

It is unclear at this time what has caused the move to close the two facilities or how the closings will affect people currently.
