Manufacturing light metals in Queensland
Light metals are shaping as Australia's star industry in the 21st century due to a great raw material base, operational know-how that is second to none, and the development of innovative technologies to process metal.
Over the next ten years Queensland has the potential to become one of the most significant light metals producing regions in the world.
Worldwide growth in demand for light metals such as aluminium and titanium is being driven by environmental considerations such as the need for the automotive industry to decrease vehicle weights in order to reduce fuel consumption and lower exhaust emissions.
