UK precision aluminium sand casting specialist Grainger & Worrall has secured more than GBP 30 million (USD 38.4 million) in new orders during the first half of 2026, driven by demand from aerospace, defence and energy industries. The company is leveraging its expertise in complex aluminium sand casting to supply components for light aircraft engines, specialist vehicle transmissions and data centre applications. To offset weaker demand in its traditional automotive business, Grainger & Worrall launched a diversification strategy 18 months ago, which is now generating significant results. Following the strong order intake, the company approved a GBP 1 million investment programme and plans to recruit 30 additional employees across manufacturing, maintenance and quality departments. The company also intends to further invest in digital sand-printing, metallurgy and advanced engineering capabilities to strengthen its position in high-value aluminium casting markets.

[SMM Aluminum Flash News] UAE Imposes Four-Month Temporary Export Ban on Certain Aluminum Scrap

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Trade has issued Ministerial Decision No.105 of 2026, introducing a four-month temporary export ban on certain industrial wastes and scrap metals, including aluminum scrap under several HS 7602 codes. The measure takes effect seven working days after issuance, while shipments under previously signed international contracts may apply for exemptions. Aluminum scrap was previously subject to an export fee of AED 100/t (US$27/t). The move reflects the UAE's efforts to retain raw materials domestically and promote local value-added processing, with potential implications for Asian scrap markets, particularly India and South Korea.
