The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been discussed in aluminium and equivalent business entities as a compliance exercise. From 2026 onward, it has already started to become something else entirely, especially for aluminium extrusions. It is now a stratified pricing layer that compounds year after year. As felt already through trade numbers, there will be no overnight tariff shock. Instead, the impact will emerge contract by contract as importers begin purchasing CBAM certificates linked to the weekly average EU ETS carbon price under Regulation (EU) 2023/956. For aluminium profiles under CN code 7604, the mechanism will initially cover Scope 1 (direct) emissions only, with financial settlement beginning in 2026 after the current transitional reporting phase.

Constellium, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of high value-added aluminium products, has reported a strong financial performance for 2025, despite beginning the year amid an unsettled backdrop.

As the year progressed, conditions improved. Although volumes did not rise uniformly across segments, the alignment of margins, favourable pricing and disciplined operational execution supported solid results by year-end. For the full year ended December 31, 2025, revenue rose 15 per cent to USD 8.4 billion from USD 7.3 billion in 2024, driven by higher shipments and higher revenue per ton, including higher metal prices.

The US-based aluminium rolling and recycling major, Novelis Inc., a subsidiary of Hindalco Industries, has reported its financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of FY2026 against the backdrop of the prolonged shutdown of its Oswego plant following a fire outbreak. Over the past five months, Oswego has dominated headlines for remaining offline and disrupting supply chains. Against this challenging backdrop, Novelis’ financial disclosures attracted heightened scrutiny, especially after Steve Fisher, President and CEO of Novelis, described the performance as ‘resilient’. That resilience has, however, remained selective, particularly thanks to the beverage packaging sector that has helped Novelis navigate a turbulent quarter. Also, elevated aluminium premiums in the...

Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a technology that will enable aluminium to float on water by securing air bubbles inside. The tubes themselves are quite slender, about one-fifth of an inch in diameter. However, when stacked together, they can be combined into larger assemblies. Such configurations could form the basis of floating platforms or devices designed to capture energy from the rhythmic motion of ocean waves. For the global aluminium value-chain 2026 outlook, book our exclusive report “ Global ALuminium Industry Outlook 2026 " Aluminium is one of the lightest structural metals, yet it is still about 2.7 times denser than water. If a solid piece is dropped into the ocean, it will sink immediately. To create aluminium tubes that cannot sink, researchers at...
