American Logan Aluminum, a joint venture owned by Novelis and Tri-Arrows Aluminum Inc. is studying expanding its manufacturing operations to increase flat-rolled aluminum capacity in Russellville, Kentucky. This expansion will be used primarily to meet the growing demand from the U.S. beverage can market.
Another of the main reasons is that there is a progressive increase in the demand for aluminum cans used for packaging craft beer. In addition, energy drinks and carbonated soft drinks have also seen their sales increase in recent years, and consumers’ growing awareness of ethical consumption and the need to reduce plastic waste has contributed to this demand.
On the other hand, aluminum can manufacturers in the country have been announcing new plans to expand their production facilities and overall capacity is expected to increase by billions of cans over the next few years. In this context, demand for flat-rolled aluminum for beverage cans is expected to grow steadily.
Established as a joint venture in 1985, Logan Aluminum is the largest single-can sheet facility in North America, producing more than 2 billion pounds of aluminum annually and supplying more than 45% of the North American can market.
