The International Aluminium Institute is marking the 50th anniversary of its founding and its role in representing the global primary aluminium industry on a sustainable journey. As part of the celebrations, the IAI will put the spotlight on the industry’s people, products and defining moments to share the milestones and challenges of the last 50 years, while looking ahead to the future.

The IAI was established in 1972 to primarily foster industry collaboration with a focus on collecting and publishing statistical data – and this remains one of the IAI’s core priorities. During the past 50 years, the IAI has been a leading voice for the aluminium industry, providing solid statistical data, which is widely acknowledged as credible and robust with statistical and analytical expertise, honed over several decades.

As part of the celebrations, the IAI has lined up a series of activities to showcase the growth of the industry and the opportunities that lie ahead.

From January, the Institute will put a spotlight on 50 people who have contributed significantly to the aluminium industry, 50 products that demonstrate the importance and versatility of the metal while also showcasing 50 key moments that have shaped the industry and metal.

The 50 People feature will run throughout 2022 and will celebrate the resilience, diversity and ingenuity of individuals (past and present) who have made the aluminium industry what it is today. Individuals can nominate themselves or colleagues via a dedicated page set up by the IAI.

Similarly, the 50 Moments, will focus on key events that have defined the sector. The IAI is seeking suggestions by March 31, 2022. These can be submitted here.
