North American Aluminum Conference
Focus On Downstream

AMM North American Aluminum Conference
The 1st aluminum conference specifically designed for the downstream aluminum market in North America
The downstream aluminum market has been downplayed for too long. While much of the recent focus in the aluminum sector has been on major head-line grabbing deals upstream, the downstream developments effecting semi-fabricators and manufacturers have been just as critical.
While some end-user markets like aerospace are booming, others such as automotive are facing a less clear picture. At the same time, rolling and extrusion companies have not been exempt from consolidation as the market has been rife with mergers and acquisitions.
On June 25-27 in Chicago, AMM will assemble leading experts and pioneers in the sector to provide guidance as to what to expect in the next wave of volatile times in the industry.
