Charles Johnson
With 18 years of experience in the aluminium industry, Charles Johnson brings a deep understanding of the policy, trade and sustainability issues shaping the US aluminium value chain. As President and CEO of the Aluminum Association, he represents an industry seeking to strengthen domestic supply while maintaining reliable access to imports. In this interview with AL Circle, Johnson discusses why the US needs an “all-of-the-above” approach, combining greater primary production, expanded recycling, stronger energy infrastructure and targeted trade enforcement, to build a larger, more resilient aluminium supply base for American manufacturing. AL Circle: How serious is the US aluminium supply gap right now, and which parts of the value chain are feeling the pressure most acutely? Charles...
Marco Ricci
How can aluminium make electric trucks lighter without compromising safety? In this recent conversation, Marco Ricci, Global Innovation, Engineering and Operational Excellence Director at Maxion Structural Components, explained how aluminium is being re-engineered to solve one of electric mobility’s toughest challenges: heavy commercial-vehicle battery systems. Developed with Novelis, the Maxion InVolt stamped rolled-aluminium housing is approximately 35 per cent lighter than a comparable extruded-aluminium design while delivering around 11 per cent higher energy density. Ricci also highlighted its potential to improve payload, range and operating efficiency while enabling safer, more serviceable and cost-effective high-volume production. AL Circle: Maxion Structural Components and...
