The Australian Aluminium Council will integrate the Australian Aluminium Extrusion Association (AAEA) into its membership and organisational structure. This integration aims to provide a unified, independent advocacy voice for the aluminium sector in Australia.
The Australian Aluminium Council’s CEO, Marghanita Johnson, announced the integration saying, “The Council represents the industry from mine to market – and now with an even stronger focus on the downstream aluminium manufacturing sector in Australia. With a cohesive representation, the Council will continue its direct engagement with the Australian Government and platforms like the International Trade Remedies Forum to advocate in the face of uneven global competition.”
The integration claims it will also advance the Council's mission of promoting a deeper understanding of the Australian aluminium industry, domestically and internationally. By uniting these organisations, the Council aims to further encourage the growth and sustainability of the sector in Australia.
Ms Johnson said, “We look forward to marking the strategic integration with the industry at the next Australian Aluminium Extrusion Conference in July 2025. This will provide an opportunity to foster further collaboration and innovation within the industry.”
