Norsk Hydro to shut two US plants, cutting 350 jobs

OSLO, June 17 (Reuters) - Norwegian aluminium company Norsk Hydro will close two of its metal extrusion plants in the U.S. next year, affecting around 350 jobs, the group said in a statement on Wednesday.

The two facilities, located at California's City of Industry and in Delhi, Louisiana, face low capacity utilisation and would require significant capital investment to meet operational standards, Hydro said.
