Aluminium Deutschland e. V. Managing Director Angelika El-Noshokaty: "The situation in the aluminum industry shows that it is not about the short-term weakness of individual segments, but about the industrial substance of Germany as a business location. High costs, weak demand, scarce raw materials and increasing regulation are all weighing on companies at the same time. In order to maintain production and employment in Germany, the industry needs reliable, competitive and investment-friendly framework conditions." © Aluminum Germany e. V.
