The United States imports approximately 85% of its aluminum, despite its essential role in everyday products, advanced manufacturing and national defense. Rebuilding domestic production capacity is critical to strengthening America’s supply chain and national security.

Oklahoma Primary Aluminum is expected to double U.S. aluminum production capacity, marking a significant step in producing more of this essential metal at home.

Recently, industry leaders joined the American Primary Aluminum Association to discuss the importance of rebuilding America’s primary aluminum industry.

Century Aluminum CEO Jesse Gary sat down with former CIA Director General David Petraeus to discuss the critical role of domestic primary aluminum for U.S. national security.
