Event recap

ALUMINIUM 2026 took place from 6 to 8 October at Messe Düsseldorf, organized by RX, bringing together the aluminium value chain from primary production and recycling to processing, machinery and finished products. Exhibitors used the fair to share strategy updates: Turkish flat-rolled producer Assan Alüminyum, for example, presented its new production investment in Fairmont, West Virginia, and its renewable-energy projects at home. The next edition in Düsseldorf is scheduled for 26 to 28 September 2028.
