Positive outlook for Aluminium in Building in 2020!
 Justin Ratcliffe, (CAB Chief Executive)
We expect to see growth in 2020 both in the marketplace and within the Trade Association having added more than 30 new members this year on the back of increasing interest in fabricating and installing aluminium products. Some 57% net balance of CAB members (at the end of Q3 2019) forecasted that their sales will increase in the year ahead with 65% net balance forecasting an increase in spend on product improvement closely followed by 55% net balance for plant & equipment. These two elements are crucial for the aluminium sector to continue its surge in popularity by seeking ever increasing manufacturing efficiencies and product advancement.
CAB has enjoyed a successful 25th Anniversary year on the back of launching a host of new initiatives including closed loop recycling, curtain wall installer training and a raft of marketing initiatives including key support for the FIT Show and Glazing Summit.
With the stronger likelihood now of some political and economic stability it is hoped that we will see the go ahead early in 2020 for numerous building and infrastructure projects that have been on hold during this year.
Very best wishes to all our Readers for a happy and prosperous 2020!
