Domestic Aluminum Plate Supplier Responds to Aerospace Demand

Champagne Metals, a U.S.-based aluminum service center, is responding to a rise in demand for domestic aerospace-grade aluminum plate. The company attributes this increase to directives such as Section 232 concerning the aerospace and defense industries, which emphasizes the need for qualified domestic suppliers.

Aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers are seeking reliable domestic sources for specialized aluminum components. Champagne Metals states it can fulfill these requirements with its ISO 9001:2015-certified facilities and in-house cutting capabilities for aerospace aluminum plates.

The company highlights its ability to provide custom-cut aluminum plates to precise specifications. Their offerings include various aerospace and defense-approved alloys, such as 6061-T6, 7075-T6, and 2024-T351. Services encompass cutting plates to exact dimensions based on customer needs.

Champagne Metals aims to support U.S. industrial policy by strengthening the domestic supply chain in critical sectors like aerospace. The company suggests that its domestic production offers advantages in lead times and supply chain security compared to foreign sources.
