US-Canada tariff tensions drive 84% rise in aluminum prices for Texas fabricator
A Texas metal fabricator says the cost of aluminum has risen sharply as trade tensions between the US and Canada add pressure to cross-border supply chains. Lance Thrailkill, CEO of All Metals Fabricating in Allen, said the company has seen aluminum prices increase by 84% since March last year, with much of its aluminum sourced from Canada. The higher material costs are affecting both the company’s margins and what its customers pay. Thrailkill mentioned, “Fortunately, we’re able to pass a lot of that on to our customer base, but oftentimes also we do get squeezed in terms of margin, so you might be able to maintain the same profit amount, but your margin goes down, so that is not ideal.” Thrailkill noted that the company has had to adjust how it manages its aluminum inventory as prices...
Aluminium replaces cast iron: What drove the auto industry’s engine-block shift?
Since late 1970s, the shift from cast iron to aluminum engine blocks became a major change in automotive manufacturing, driven by the need for lighter vehicles and lower emissions. As automakers faced stricter emissions standards, reducing vehicle weight gained greater momentum. As the block is among the heaviest components of an engine, aluminum emerged as an attractive alternative to the traditional cast iron, lowering weight onus and offering better thermal conductivity. According to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), replacing conventional cast iron with aluminum casting alloys can reduce engine-block weight by approximately 40% to 55%. The lighter block is favorable to automakers, lowering overall vehicle weight, improving efficiency and cutting emissions. To know the global...
One and One Green Technologies’ aluminium revenue falls 25.4% in H1 2026 amid processing upgrade
One and One Green Technologies, a Philippines-based recycler of waste materials and scrap metal, saw its aluminium alloy revenue decline in the first half of 2026 after an equipment upgrade temporarily halted aluminium processing for about six weeks. The company, which produces aluminium alloy, copper alloy and brass alloy ingots, suspended aluminium processing from mid-May through the end of June while upgrading its aluminium processing equipment. Production resumed in July 2026. The disruption affected the company’s aluminium business even as overall financial performance remained positive. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026, rose 18.7 per cent to USD 33.38 million from USD 28.13 million a year earlier, while net income increased 17.4 per cent to USD 4.49 million from...
