Griffith Statement on American Tin Company Investment in Henry County

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that Nathan Trotter, a Pennsylvania-based tin production company, will invest approximately $65 million to build a metal production and processing facility in Henry County. According to a press release, the investment will support an estimated 118 new jobs, build a 115,000 square foot tin processing facility and help secure America’s tin supply chain. In response to this news, U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement: “Virginia’s Ninth District is fertile ground for advancing American manufacturing and critical mineral production. This investment in Henry County highlights Virginia’s commitment to ‘Made in America’ and supports local economic development. I would like to thank Governor Youngkin, state and local partners and Nathan Trotter for their work to create this fantastic opportunity.” BACKGROUND One reason listed for Nathan Trotter’s selection of Henry County is its proximity to key ports, customers, suppliers and Nathan Trotter’s network of tin production facilities throughout the region. Nathan Trotter will develop and operate the nation’s first plant capable of refining noteworthy volumes of both tin concentrate and scrap tin in support of the U.S. economy and defense industrial base. The cutting-edge facility has also been designed to utilize the most advanced and environmentally friendly technology, enabling successful operations into the future. Governor Youngkin delivered remarks on this announcement in Martinsville, Virginia. ###
