AAC looks to the future with NEW Member Benefits

The Aluminum Anodizers Council (AAC) Board of Directors recently commissioned a study with Ducker Carlisle, a Global Consulting, Strategy and M&A Firm, to look at the North American Anodized Aluminum Market. “This is an exciting benefit for AAC member companies to be used by companies to chart their path forward for years to come,” said Janette Courtney, Chairperson of the AAC.  Over the years Ducker Carlisle has worked extensively with various associations to develop various markets, needs, and risk studies.

The study will be conducted in three phases over the next two years and include: market assessment, trends, growth areas, market needs/unmet needs, alternatives, and risks. The results of the first phase will be unveiled at the Annual Anodizing Conference in October, register now. Subsequently, phase two and three will be delivered in February and August 2025, respectively.

A member only information webinar will be held with Ducker Carlisle to provide an overview of the project and outline the process. The webinar will occur at 12 p.m. Central Time on July 18. Please register for the webinar HERE

Additionally, Ducker Carlisle will be conducting one-on-one discussions with AAC members. The 40 – 60 minute interview will consist of the following:

• Overview of AAC project and objectives
• Overview of anodized aluminum industry
• Industries Served
• Utilization and outlook of anodized aluminum
