Aluminum Sector Brings Billions in Spending to North America

March 27, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The aluminum sector, from initial smelting to final rolling, is bringing more than US$15 billion worth of projects to the U.S., Canada and Mexico. As tariffs loom on aluminum imported into the U.S., the demand for U.S.-manufactured aluminum is expected to increase, which is good news for companies building recycling plants and rolling mills in the country. Other companies, such as Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) (London, England) are at work on expanding Canadian smelting operations, and one major U.S. metals company is establishing an important aluminum-recycling facility in Mexico.
