Nick Collins: Aluminium Extruders Association CEO on the trade investigation into whether an uptick in imports could be harming local manufacturers

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

An uptick in cheap aluminium extrusion imports could be hurting local manufacturers.  The Government's looking into global safeguards after imports of products, like those made here, surged 30% in the first four months of the year compared to last year.   Aluminium Extruders Association chief executive Nick Collins told Heather du Plessis-Allan the US and the EU have tariffs in place.   He says we need something in the range of 15–25%, so local manufacturers are on a level playing field.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
