Allegheny Metallurgical, a West Virginia-based metallurgical coal company, announces it has successfully emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 13th. This marks a positive step forward for the future of the company as it returns to normal and growing operations.

The company’s re-entry to the market is marked by a reorganization of leadership and a renewed focus on maintaining and expanding operations.

“This is the exciting beginning of a new future at Allegheny Metallurgical,” stated Eric Lipinski, Chief Operating Officer at Allegheny Metallurgical. “There has been a lot of hard work involved to secure the future of the company, and we are in a strong position for growth and excellence.”
