ALFED Position Paper: The Vital Role of Aluminium During the COVID-19 Pandemic

March 29, 2020

The aluminium sector generates £10 billion annually for the UK economy and employs more than 20,000 people nationwide. It plays a vital role in the supply chains of markets essential to managing the COVID-19 crisis, including medical device manufacture, electricity transmission, building materials and packaging. As a result, it is a sector of national significance during this pandemic – and aluminium sector operations must therefore continue in a safe yet productive manner.
