[SMM 알루미늄 속보] 독일 알루미늄 산업 여전히 압박, 기업 과반 2026년 비관

The UK Government is strengthening its Critical Minerals Strategy by investing in domestic extraction, processing, recycling and supply chain development to enhance resource security and economic resilience. The Aluminum Federation (ALFED) welcomed the move, noting that aluminum was officially designated as both a Critical Mineral and a Growth Mineral in 2024 under the UK's Vision 2035 framework. ALFED urged policymakers to place greater emphasis on aluminum recycling, remelting, sorting and supply security advanced processing to strengthen domestic supply chains and promote circular manufacturing. The federation highlighted that recycled aluminum can be reused indefinitely while requiring only around 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum, making it a key material for low-carbon manufacturing and long-ter.

Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA) has officially inaugurated its aluminum recycling plant in Al Taweelah, Abu Dhabi, with an annual production capacity of 185,000 tonnes, making it the largest recycling facility in the UAE. The plant processes post-consumer and selected pre-consumer aluminum scrap into low-carbon premium billets and T-bars under the RevivAL brand, while also producing recycled products blended with EGA's solar-powered CelestiAL and nuclear-powered MinimAL aluminum. Commercial production began in February 2026, with full ramp-up expected within six months depending on scrap availability. Including this project and a planned acquisition in Italy, EGA's global aluminum recycling capacity has exceeded 400,000 tonnes per year, with another 200,000 tonnes under development in Europe and the US.

독일 리프팅 장비 제조업체 eepos가 제조, 조립 및 산업용으로 새로운 알루미늄 지브 크레인을 출시했으며, 2026년 7월 8일부터 상용화됩니다. 이 크레인은 최대 인양 용량 1톤, 붐 길이 최대 8미터를 제공합니다. 270도 회전이 가능한 새로운 스위블 베어링을 탑재했으며 기둥 장착형과 벽 장착형 구성으로 선택할 수 있습니다. 회사에 따르면 경량 중공 알루미늄 레일은 화물 위치 결정을 개선하고 작업자의 수고를 덜어주며 작업장 효율성을 높여줍니다. 이 신형 크레인은 제조, 조립, 자동차 산업을 대상으로 합니다. eepos는 2024년부터 글로벌 리프팅 솔루션 제공업체인 Kito Crosby의 일원입니다.
