IAI Celebrates 50th Anniversary

The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) turned 50 in April 2022! Aluminium International Today is our official media partner for the anniversary celebrations.

Established in 1972, the International Aluminium Institute has played a key role in creating a forum to bring the global industry together to progress issues and address challenges. The Institute's robust, credible and transparent data, modelling and analyses assist the industry in making informed decisions. The IAI has also played a pivotal role in promoting the unique benefits of aluminium and advocating for the industry to a broad audience.

The IAI launched 50 Products and 50 People communication streams, in January 2022. The 50 Products showcases the essential role of aluminium in our everyday lives and in ensuring a sustainable society.

50 People showcases the diversity and depth of the industry’s workforce and their joined efforts to drive change. The 50 Products and 50 People streams are promoted weekly on the IAI’s social media channels. Engage in these weekly social media posts on the IAI’s LinkedIn and Twitter pages.
