In November 2021, Extruded Aluminum Corporation invested US$ 30.4 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Michigan, the US.
IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
The covid-19 The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the global economy and slowed the growth of various industries. The shutdown of multiple manufacturing plants and factories in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa affected the global supply chain and negatively impacted the manufacturing, delivery schedules, and sales of various goods. Further, various companies announced possible delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products. In addition, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America affected business collaborations and partnership opportunities. All these factors negatively affected the growth of the aluminum extrusion market across the globe. The construction industry was also hampered as some infrastructure projects as well as residential constructions were cancelled or postponed. This factor resulted in decline in demand for construction materials and parts including aluminum extruded products, hampering the market growth. However, with the introduction of vaccine and relaxation of restrictions by the governments, the marketplace witnessed recovery. Manufacturers started working with full capacity which helped them to overcome the demand and supply gap.
