Our election year priorities
Local aluminium extrusion delivers significant value to New Zealand, employing over 5,000 people, directly creating over $6.3bn of economic activity and enabling significant supply chain value.
This and a lot more is at risk under current policy settings.
In our 2026 Manifesto we set out our three election year priorities critical to the sustainability of the industry and in turn supporting New Zealand’s resilience.
Energy security – Policy harnessing renewable energy to secure affordable, reliable and resilient supply
Free and fair trade – A level playing field where we are treated the same as our international competitors
Procurement – Procurement activity that matches stated policy.
