Braidy Atlas collaborates with BMW for future supply of automotive aluminium sheet
Braidy Atlas has collaborated with the BMW Group to create sustainability and technical/qualification for the future supply of automotive aluminium sheet. Once the rolling mill begins production, Braidy Atlas will supply the automaker with 5000x and 6000x series aluminium sheet.
Braidy Atlas is a partnership of Ashland, KY-based Braidy Industries and United Company RUSAL. This is the first new U.S. greenfield rolling mill in 37 years.
Craig Bouchard, Chief Executive Officer of Braidy said, “Our low-cost, high-quality, low-carbon footprint allows material improvement in global supply chain costs for BMW as a key customer.”
The plan includes a comprehensive closed-loop recycling strategy leveraging Braidy Atlas’ logistically optimal location in Ashland, Kentucky and in close proximity to BMW´s car production plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Lord Gregory Barker, Executive Chairman of EN+ and named Co-Chairman of Braidy Atlas commented, “This groundbreaking collaboration is just the beginning of opportunities as we competitively combine the highest quality aluminium with the lowest-carbon content yet, together setting an exciting new standard not just for North America but our industry globally.”
