The UK Aluminium industry has been declining in recent years, mainly due to outsourcing of aluminium production to countries with cheaper energy and labour sectors. There are currently 2 primary aluminium smelters in the UK, both owned by Rio Tinto Alcan (formerly Alcan), and a number of secondary smelters and manufacturers.
