Aluminum a Key Element of U.S. Infrastructure Investment

ssociation Marks One-Year Anniversary of Inflation Reduction Act

Aluminum Association president & CEO Charles Johnson released the following statement on the one-year anniversary of President Biden signing the Inflation Reduction Act:

“Infrastructure investment is buoying historic industry-sponsored capital spending – more than $6 billion announced for U.S.-based aluminum projects over the past 3 years. Shifting consumer preferences toward more sustainable materials, a move toward electrification, bipartisan support for trade enforcement and infrastructure spending are all working together to make America a highly attractive place to make aluminum. Durable, corrosion resistant and sustainable, aluminum is a material tailor-made for 21st century infrastructure projects. Building America means building with aluminum.”

Like all manufacturing sectors, U.S. aluminum benefits from reliable roads, bridges, electricity and other infrastructure. Aluminum is also a cornerstone material in American manufacturing, supporting aerospace, transportation, construction, electrical transmission and many other markets. The metal is a key element of any comprehensive strategy to enhance the nation’s infrastructure while conserving energy, improving environmental quality and mitigating climate change.
