Why is Star Extruded Shapes your go-to aluminum extrusions supplier in Ohio? Read on to discover the 4 major benefits of the company that sets them apart in the industry.

Manufactured & Sourced in the United States

Several factors have positioned United States’ aluminum manufacturers and processors to have significant advantages for the foreseeable future.

  • Geopolitical unrest across the world
  • Sanctions levied against Russian raw aluminum exports
  • China’s sluggish economy and reduced output
  • Anti-dumping legislation and tariffs about to be implemented in full

There are also a few new smelters and cast houses newly operational or under construction/expansion currently on U.S. soil. While some of these may not be in the traditional 6000 series markets of many aluminum extruders, their presence will ease the burden of other U.S. and North American suppliers, to meet demands.

As result, U.S. consumers of aluminum will be ease of availability (in the form of lead-times being as or more competitive than they’ve been historically) and level-playing field pricing, making it an easier domestic supply decision.

Competitive Domestic Manufacturing & Pricing

The anti-dumping and tariff implications are a win for those extruding aluminum in the United States. In fact, the physical output of U.S. suppliers has always been at the top of the world order. However, the inability to compete price-wise with imports, has damaged the domestic ability to take advantage of that. The bigger picture implication of this will be a jolt to the U.S. economy, with a possible influx (already being seen) of more than 1 billion new lbs. into our mills.

Furthermore, not only will Star’s customers be able to definitively say that their products are made in the USA, but they will also be supporting jobs at home for American workers. The U.S.-based aluminum extrusion industry also adheres to a high standard of safety and quality control. This leads to clients getting a better end product and experience.
