Ford Battles Fires, Supply Chain Woes, and Industry Challenges Amid EV Push and Product Updates
Ford BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Ford has been in the spotlight over the past few days following a series of dramatic events at the Novelis aluminum plant in Oswego, New York. According to The Wall Street Journal and TheStreet, a second major fire broke out at the facility on November 20, just weeks after an initial blaze disrupted production. The rolling mill, critical for supplying aluminum to Ford’s F-150 and other large trucks, was affected, raising concerns about ongoing supply chain issues. Ford CEO Jim Farley addressed the situation during the company’s earnings call, warning that the U.S. auto industry is in deep trouble compared to China and that the fires could create a significant financial headwind.
Despite the setbacks, Ford and Novelis issued a joint statement confirming that the cold mill and heat treatment operations are back online, and finished material is shipping to Ford. Novelis is also committing to build a new plant in Bay Minette, Alabama, with commissioning expected in the second half of 2026. Ford has reaffirmed its full-year 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance of $6 billion to $6.5 billion and adjusted free cash flow of $2 billion to $3 billion, according to statements from both companies and TT News.
Ford’s stock dipped by $0.36 per share during the week of November 17 to 21, as reported by Ford Authority, reflecting investor concerns over the supply chain disruptions. However, the company remains confident in its recovery plans, including adding shifts at its Dearborn Truck Plant and increasing line speed at its Kentucky facility.
On the product front, Ford announced enhancements to its Ranger lineup, aiming to maintain segment leadership in design, capability, and technology, according to Ford Media. Meanwhile, a new study highlighted by Ford Authority suggests Ford EV owners may not have to worry about battery replacements, with only a tiny percentage of batteries being replaced so far.
Ford’s public appearances include a recent TV commercial campaign focused on commitment and service, as well as participation in the 2025 SEMA Show, where the company made headlines alongside Honda, Mopar, Nissan, and Toyota, according to SEMA.org.
