| 1183597 | 28838ee9-2aa2-4a02-a29d-09559f7b01c3 | Q4 | THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION, INC. | 1216 | ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION INC | 2011 | fourth_quarter | TRD | See Addendum TRADE The members of the Aluminum Association are domestic producers of primary and secondary ingot, aluminum mill products and castings. Mill products include sheet and plate, foil, extrusions, forgings and impacts, electrical conductor, and wire and rod and bar. The membership also includes producers of master alloys and additives and aluminum pigments and powders. The Association is a primary source for statistics, technical standards and information on aluminum and the aluminum industry in the United States. The Aluminum industry operates about 400 plants in 40 U.S. states and employs nearly 84,600 people with approximately $4.2 billion in total payroll. While Association member companies conduct business worldwide, the U.S. aluminum industry ranks fifth in the world in annual primary aluminum production capacity, accounting for about 4.2 percent of world supply or over 1.7 million metric tons of metal. Overview. The members of the Aluminum Association are fully committed to a fair and open world market for aluminum, The Aluminum Association strongly supports the initiation of global trade negotiations in the World Trade Organization (WTO). The Association supports a comprehensive approach to the phased-in reduction and elimination of tariffs over a multi-year period, not to exceed 10 years. In addition, we believe that all aluminum producing, importing and exporting countries should participate in the Round, and that no country be required to reduce or eliminate its tariffs on a unilateral basis. Background. The aluminum industry is global. The largest aluminum producers are multinational companies with production, fabrication and distribution facilities around the world. During 2010, world aluminum primary production totaled an estimated 40.8 million metric tons. The leading producing countries include the China, Russia, Canada, Australia, United States, Brazil, India, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Iceland. Together they represent more than 80% of the world's primary aluminum production. The largest aluminum markets are East Asia, North America and Europe. The U.S. is both a major importer and exporter of aluminum. Approximately 42.8% of the U.S. supply of aluminum was imported in 2010 from foreign producers in the form of primary ingot and scrap. In 2010, U.S. exports amounted to 16.0% of U.S. producer shipments in the form of ingot, scrap and mill products. The free flow of aluminum products on a global scale is vital to the future success of the U.S. aluminum industry. | Commerce, Dept of (DOC),Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE | 39748 | 0 | 0 | 2012-01-11T14:11:47-05:00 |
