ALFED trade committee puts UK aluminium reindustrialisation firmly on the agenda
The Aluminium Federation (ALFED) has launched a new Reindustrialising UK Aluminium briefing, developed through its Trade Committee, setting out the immediate trade and industrial priorities facing the UK aluminium sector. The briefing comes as aluminium takes on increasing strategic importance within UK Government policy. Aluminium is recognised within the UK’s Critical Minerals framework and as a Growth Mineral, reflecting its importance to future UK manufacturing and economic growth. Government’s Critical Minerals Strategy describes critical minerals as foundational inputs to the Industrial Strategy’s growth-driving sectors. ALFED’s latest economic modelling estimates that the UK aluminium industry supports a wider economic footprint of £8.18 billion (USD 11.03 billion) in GVA and...
Fire response at Bridgnorth Aluminium highlights support available to metal industries
Fire crews responded to a molten aluminium spill at Bridgnorth Aluminium on September 14 afternoon after the incident caused several small fires at the facility. Crews from Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock arrived shortly before 4 pm on September 14. The incident was recorded as a building fire, and operations officers also attended. Firefighters dealt with the fires caused by the molten aluminium spill. The incident also shows the role fire crews can play when such an incident occurs at a production facility. Molten aluminium is handled at very high temperatures, so a quick response is important when a spill leads to fire. Firefighters are trained to deal with these situations and can provide industries with support when an unexpected incident takes place. Prompt actions play a key role in...

Vedanta shares hit 52-week low at ₹419.50 as crude oil prices surge
Vedanta’s share price fell in early trading on the NSE as the Indian stock market declined and rising crude oil prices increased concerns about higher costs for metal companies. The stock opened at INR 431.25 (USD 4.50), down from its previous close, and fell to an intraday low of INR 419.50 (USD 4.37), marking a new 52-week low. Market experts attributed the decline mainly to weak global and domestic market sentiment and the sharp rise in crude oil prices. Higher energy and input costs can put pressure on the margins of mining and metals companies. Rising base metal prices in international markets, followed by some profit-booking, also contributed to the stock's movement. Crude oil prices add to cost concerns Anuj Gupta, a SEBI-registered market expert, said rising crude oil prices were...

China aluminium output rises 4.7% YoY to record high in August
China's aluminium production reached a record high in August as strong margins encouraged smelters to maximise output, bringing the world's largest aluminium producer closer to its longstanding national capacity ceiling. Primary aluminium output rose 4.7 per cent year on year to 3.98 million tonnes in August, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics. Production was also higher than the just-under 3.9 million tonnes recorded in July and was close to the previous monthly record of 3.979 million tonnes set in June.
