About
Aluminium
Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust and has been produced commercially since 1888. It’s now the second most used metal in the world after iron.
Australia is one of the world’s largest producers of bauxite and the leading global exporter of alumina. Decades of investment have created an aluminium value chain with deep technical expertise and international significance.
Aluminium underpins transport and infrastructure, construction and manufacturing, defence capability and emerging technologies.
