In the aluminium industry, some markets, such as the automotive industry, have been hit to the core by the corona crisis, resulting in extremely painful declines in incoming orders and sales. However, there was also positive news from other markets of the aluminium industry, such as the packaging sector, according to Gesamtverband der Aluminiumindustrie e. V. (GDA).
The aluminium packaging industry remained robust even during the crisis due to lively demand from the beverage, food and pharmaceutical sectors.
