AEC Launches New Campaign for Aluminum Extrusion Fair Trade Initiative

The Aluminum Extruders Councilhas launched a new campaign to raise awareness and understanding of the Aluminum Extrusion Fair Trade Initiative. The initiative played a crucial role inthe U.S. Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission's rulings that Chinese imports of aluminum extrusions were damaging the U.S. market as a result of unfair trade practices, and the subsequent implementation of tariffs on extruders and/or importers of Chinese aluminum profiles into the United States, officials report.

To help raise financial support for the continuing initiative, AEC has developeda new website to communicate information on issues related to the Aluminum Extrusion Fair Trade effort.

AEC will also host a special "Fair Trade – It Matters!" event during the AEC Management Conference, September 18, in Chicago. The conference will run from September 17-19 at the Hilton O’Hare Airport Hotel in Chicago.
