Aluminium is one of the world’s most vital materials and Australia is
uniquely equipped to make it. With a complete, integrated value chain
here at home, from mining to manufacturing — Aluminium Can.

You probably think of cans and recycling when it comes to aluminium,
but in Australia, aluminium is much more. We mine it, refine it, smelt it, and
shape it, all domestically, which should give us a powerful local advantage.

Allie represents Australia’s complete aluminium story: a local industry that keeps
towns thriving by creating good, stable jobs, especially in regional areas where
communities flourish, and giving people the opportunity to live and work close to home.
And because we control every stage, from bauxite to final product, our industry is
more efficient, resilient, and globally competitive.

Why Australia is a great place

to produce aluminium
A vertically integrated advantage.
Australia’s value chain, from bauxite mining to downstream manufacturing, creates opportunity and keeps value onshore.
Real jobs that pay well and stay local.
The industry supports over 75,000 jobs across the country with many roles in regional communities earning wages well above the national manufacturing average.
A global resource powerhouse.
Australia is the world’s largest producer of bauxite, second-largest alumina producer (and largest exporter), and a top-ten aluminium producer, drawing on decades of mining, refining and manufacturing expertise.
Significant economic contribution.
Our integrated aluminium industry adds about $18 billion in value annually, contributing robust GDP growth, export revenue, and economic resilience.
Supporting clean-energy transition & sovereign capability.
We are harnessing local energy sources and technology to decarbonise and safeguard Australia’s sovereign capability.
More than Metal.
It’s Australia-Made
Strength

Australia’s aluminium story isn’t just about what’s being made, it’s about why it’s made here. Our local value chain creates secure, high-quality jobs; builds industry resilience; and reinforces our economic and environmental sovereignty.

Allie shows us that when aluminium is produced in Australia, we build stronger communities, a stronger country, and a better future for us all.
