Summary

The United States' aluminum industry is the world's largest, annually producing about $39.1 billion in products and exports. US companies are the largest single producer of primary aluminum.

The US industry operates over 300 plants in 35 states, produces more than 23 billion pounds of metal annually and employs over 145,000 people with an annual payroll of about $5 billion. Aluminum is one of the few products and industries left in America that truly impacts every community in the country, either through physical plants and facilities, recycling, heavy industry, or consumption of consumer goods.

In terms of both its positive economic and environmental impact, the aluminum industry remains one of the country's most significant national and international success stories.
