The UK aluminium industry is facing an evolving trade landscape, with supply chain disruptions, shifting import/export policies, and new regulations shaping the way businesses operate. To ensure that the needs of our sector are fully understood at the highest levels, the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is seeking direct input from industry leaders through a newly launched survey.
This initiative is designed to capture the realities of aluminium supply chains, helping the government assess the impact of trade barriers, import dependencies, and market fluctuations on UK businesses. For ALFED members, this is a valuable opportunity to ensure that the challenges and priorities of the sector are heard and reflected in future trade policy.
Why Your Input Matters
In recent months, ALFED has been engaging with policymakers on key trade issues, including US aluminium tariffs, EU regulatory alignment, and the future of strategic imports. The insights gathered from this survey will provide evidence-based data to support our ongoing discussions with government, reinforcing the industry’s need for fair, competitive, and stable trade policies.
Your responses will help:
– Highlight concerns around import reliance and supply chain resilience
– Influence policy decisions on trade agreements and market access
– Ensure aluminium businesses are prioritised in UK trade strategy
– Identify areas where government support is needed to maintain competitiveness
How to Take Part
The survey is quick and easy to complete – taking just 10 minutes – and is open to all businesses in the aluminium supply chain.
