While historically companies have used imported aluminum to improve their bottom lines, with the implementation of tariffs on both the raw metal and fabricated products, manufacturers are exploring other strategies. Some, such as Coca-Cola and Genuine Parts, are expecting to pass their cost increases onto consumers. Others, like Illinois Tool Works, are pursuing local sourcing.
The advantages of domestic suppliers
With shorter distances involved when using domestic suppliers, the resultant costs of logistical problems regarding weather conditions and geopolitical obstacles can be reduced or eliminated. Transportation expenditures also are lower and fewer warehousing facilities may be required.
Buying domestically can also result in increased goodwill from consumers. Many customers...(Full Article)
Since 1855, aluminum companies have operated in the United States. As the country's economy has grown, the aluminum industry has grown with it. According to data compiled by IndustryNet, 940 aluminum companies provide 65,066 jobs. Average sales are $47.8 billion.

Casting performed by aluminum foundries is the most widely used process for manufacturing aluminum products and is vital to the aluminum industry. In these facilities, aluminum is melted and poured into molds. The items formed are as diverse as power transmissions for cars and the cap on the Washington Monument.
The majority of molds, especially those for large objects, are constructed from sand. Other casting methods are investment casting, which involves the use of meltable linings such as wax with a ceramic mold and die casting in metal molds. Regardless of the casting procedure, goods produced by foundries are both lightweight and sturdy.
According to data collected by IndustryNet, 349 plants in the aluminum foundry sector provide 18,774 jobs. This number is a decrease of 0.95 pe...(Full Article)
While tariffs have recently been instituted to stimulate the growth of the U.S. aluminum industry, some aluminum foundries are already thriving. Much of the struggle of aluminum manufacturers has been attributed to Chinese metal overcapacity.
Despite an increasing amount of U.S. demand that has been met by foreign suppliers, some market segments, automotive in particular, have spurred domestic sales. This trend is expected to continue, owing to duties that have been imposed on a variety of aluminum products including hubs for bicycles, tanks, vats, reservoirs and, most notably, some engine components.
With rapid urbanization driving increased demand for lightweight vehicles, sales of foundry casting products are projected to rise over the next few years. Die casting is an essential p...(Full Article)
Aluminum brings to mind foil to wrap leftovers and soda cans. The truth is, aluminum's impact on the U.S. economy reaches far further than these two iconic products. Aluminum enables strong, light-weight and eco-friendly cars. Manufacturers use them to create bulletproof shielding on Bradley tanks. Aluminum is in kettles, toasters and other kitchen utensils.
In construction, aluminum encases windows and strengthens bridges, railings and rods. Aircraft, boats and trains rely on aluminum. Its conductivity and weight make it ideal for power lines.
Aluminum even has a robust afterlife in recycling, with nearly 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced still in use today.
Given its versatility, it is no wonder that aluminum generates nearly $71 billion each year in direct U.S. economic...(Full Article)
