Merit Aluminum joins ASI as new Production & Transformation member

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) announced Merit Aluminum Inc. has become a new Production & Transformation member of the ASI. This brings the total number of members working toward a responsible aluminium value chain to 111.

Merit Aluminum delivers high quality extrusions within customers’ requirements and on time. The company has three extrusion presses with 55,000, 000 lbs of annual capacity, state of the art automated handling equipment, a computer controlled Anodizing Line, and 2 state of the art Powder Coating Lines.

 “Merit Aluminum Inc. is committed to responsible environmental practices that protect our planet. Global warming is the existential threat to humanity. It is everyone’s responsibility to reduce their carbon footprint in their daily lives, and even more so for those that are business owners, no matter what size the business. We cannot rely on governmental intervention as our only means to deal with this threat. As shepherds of our planet, we must take whatever steps necessary, within each of our means, to create a carbon neutral world. To accomplish that, we all have to work together providing the leadership that others will and must follow. Failure to do so, the consequences are unimaginable,” said Mike Rapport, President, Merit Aluminum Inc.

ASI is a global, multi-stakeholder, non-profit standards setting and certification organisation that aims to recognise and foster the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium.
