The Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC) has led the U.S. aluminum extrusion industry in achieving level competition by winning tariff protection that offsets unfair trade practices of extruders/importers of aluminum profiles produced in China. Our efforts have been of enormous value to domestic extruders and suppliers. They may have saved our industry. Conservatively, AEC estimates 600 million pounds per year of extrusions are being produced in the U. S. that would have otherwise been lost to China.
The video above features leaders of the Aluminum Extruders Council speaking to the importance of the AEC Fair Trade…It Matters! initiative.
A wealth of information regarding the AEC Fair Trade…It Matters! initiative can be found on The Shaping Solutions Together blog. The blog features timely and relevant posts regarding the Fair Trade…It Matters! initiative composed by extrusion industry leaders. These posts provide a unique perspective and a more personalized message on the importance of this campaign.

ALL those in the North American aluminum extrusion industry have benefitted from the Aluminum Extrusion Fair Trade Initiative. In short, Fair Trade tariffs have worked. They brought customers back to the U.S. that had been lost and rescued customers that would otherwise have left. But the stakes remain high! Efforts to circumvent, dilute or eliminate this crucial protection will continue for years to come.
AEC needs your financial support in order to continue this outstanding program. Please show your support for the Fair Trade Initiative by choosing one of the actions below. |
