WESTERN MAGNESIUM NAMES GREGORY FCA PUBLIC RELATIONS AGENCY OF RECORD
Western Magnesium Corp. has engaged Gregory FCA as its public relations agency of record. The announcement comes as Western Magnesium prepares to commercialize its new lower-cost, greener technology for producing magnesium metal, a strategic commodity that will spur innovation throughout American manufacturing.
“After an extensive search, we selected Gregory FCA because of the firm’s national reach and sharing of our vision,” says Sam Ataya, Chief Executive Officer of Western Magnesium. “Magnesium has the potential to transform and reinvigorate America’s manufacturing base. That message needs to be communicated to any number of constituents through a range of channels that Gregory FCA has demonstrated competency in accessing.”
Western Magnesium, which recently moved from Canada to the U.S., is currently evaluating U.S. sites to house its first commercial furnace. A third lighter and 20% stronger than aluminum, magnesium metal is a highly attractive choice in applications where light weight, performance and an extended lifespan are important considerations such as in the automotive, aerospace, defense and other vital manufacturing industries.
“Western Magnesium has a bold vision to return magnesium metal production to the U.S. through a technology that is cleaner, lower cost and higher quality than what is currently available from foreign sources,” says Gregory Matusky, President and CEO of Gregory FCA. “It’s an industry that’s been lost to overseas competition, and will be returning to the U.S., creating jobs and a cornerstone industry that will spur innovation in a world where lighter, stronger, greener and cheaper wins on its merits.”
Western Magnesium is currently evaluating locations nationwide to locate its first commercial furnace. Due to the efficiency of its technology, Western Magnesium could locate in any number of post-industrial American cities, giving regions a competitive advantage in attracting next-generation, smart manufacturers seeking low cost access to advanced materials.
