The aluminum industry is a major contributor to the U.S.
economy, with shipments increasing steadily since the downturn of 1994-1995. In 1998,
total U.S. primary aluminum production capacity was 9,251 million pounds; with production
that year of 8,185 million pounds, the capacity utilization was 88.5% [AA 2000].

**In the SIC system, a number of production activities related to aluminum manufacturing
were grouped with that of other non-ferrous metals. However, beginning in 1997 under
NAICS, such activities have been separated into aluminum-specific classifications, which
allow more precise tabulation. |
