The Aluminum Association hosted leaders from the fellow aluminium associations around the world in a meeting in Nashville, TN on the concluding day of the ALUMINUM USA trade show.
The group discussed opportunities to highlight the report from earlier this year by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), “Measuring Distortions in International Markets: The Aluminium Value Chain”. The global industry leaders also discussed recent changes in global trade flow patterns for aluminium and aluminium products. Leaders from Europe, Canada, Russia, South Africa, Austria, Brazil, Australia, U.S., Japan and Norway all participated in the discussion.
