Capral Backs Aussie Smelters and Confirms Supply Chain Strength

Capral acknowledges recent media coverage regarding the Tomago Aluminium Smelter and understands the concerns this has raised within the Australian manufacturing sector.

Capral operates with a resilient and diverse aluminium billet supply chain, supported by multiple domestic and international aluminium smelters. This approach ensures continuity of supply to our operations and customers across Australia.

As a proud Australian manufacturer, Capral strongly supports the long-term viability of local smelting operations such as Tomago and Boyne. These facilities are critical to maintaining domestic supply chains and Australia’s industrial strength.

“Smelters like Tomago play a foundational role in Australia’s aluminium value chain and manufacturing ecosystem,” said Tony Dragicevich, Capral CEO. “While our supply chain is diverse and secure, we firmly believe in the importance of strong domestic aluminium smelting capability. It’s vital that government and industry continue to work together to support the energy transition and ensure these critical assets remain viable into the future.”

Capral welcomes ongoing collaboration between industry and government to deliver energy solutions that support a strong and sustainable future for Australian Aluminium.
