CRU Aluminum Market Update Set for Atlanta on Aug. 28-29
Written by Sandy Williams
Strong and healthy competition has always existed between the steel and aluminum industries as each vies to capture and retain market share through innovation, advertising, pricing and other strategies. However, beyond this story of upstream competition, both materials are integral to a wide range of manufactured products and are widely purchased, fabricated and distributed by many of the same companies that are so integral to the fortunes of the U.S. manufacturing sector.
CRU is organizing its inaugural Aluminum Market Update conference directly following the SMU Steel Summit on Aug. 28 and 29 in the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway hotel and would like to invite those of you with a commercial or competitive interest in the aluminium industry to attend. The event includes a site visit to Bonnell Aluminum and a day and a half agenda featuring presentations on scrap, trade, primary markets, prices, premiums and the economy. Talks will be delivered by important U.S. aluminum stakeholders and analysts and provide a great opportunity to understand the latest view on the aluminum market, its performance relative to steel, and to benefit from networking.
