Alabama is in the heart of the U.S. aluminum smelting belt

Alabama is one of the most important aluminum states in the country. Mercedes (Tuscaloosa), Honda (Lincoln), Hyundai (Montgomery), and the dense Tier-1/Tier-2 supplier base around them make Alabama one of the highest-volume automotive aluminum scrap origination markets in the U.S. — extrusion, stamping scrap, cast offcut, and assembly aluminum all flow through these supplier networks.

Alabama also borders the U.S. aluminum smelting and rolling capacity in the Southeast (Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky have major operations), and the Port of Mobile supports container export when international pricing wins. The combination of in-state demand from auto OEMs and Tier suppliers, regional smelter pull, and port export gives Alabama aluminum unusually strong placement options.

Alabama aluminum pricing context

Aluminum tracks LME with grade-specific spreads. UBC has historically traded $0.50–$0.95/lb. Bare extrusion 6063 nets at small discount to LME. Cast aluminum at deeper discounts. Auto-Tier post-industrial scrap (clean, single-source, segregated) typically nets at the higher end of grade-specific ranges. Mobile-area pickups can net better than Birmingham when export wins because of shorter port freight. Pricing moves daily — call 800-449-5084.

FAQ — Selling Aluminum in Alabama

Q: Do you have direct experience with Mercedes / Honda / Hyundai supplier-park aluminum programs?
A: Yes. The auto OEM supplier parks are a core part of our Alabama and Southeast book. We support PPAP-style documentation, segregated single-source loads, closed-loop programs, and the chain-of-custody auto OEMs require. We understand supplier-park dock dynamics and JIT pickup needs.

Q: Can you ship Alabama aluminum out of the Port of Mobile?
A: Yes. Mobile is often the cheapest export option for west-and-central Alabama generators. We book containers when international pricing beats domestic processor placement. Mobile also competes with Savannah and Charleston, giving us multiple export routing options.

Q: How does the Southeast aluminum smelting and rolling base affect AL pricing?
A: Adjacent state smelters and rolling mills (TN, MS, KY) create structural domestic demand for AL-origin aluminum scrap. Short-freight loads to regional smelters often beat export pricing during soft export windows. We route to whichever channel pays best week-to-week.

Q: Do you accept aluminum from Mobile shipbuilding (Austal USA) or aerospace operations?
A: Yes. Marine-grade aluminum (5xxx alloys) and aerospace alloy scrap require segregation and documentation to capture alloy premium. We work with the AL marine and aerospace operations on segregation specs and documentation that maximizes net-back.
