Packaging growth leads Gränges Americas volume growth

Gränges increased sales volume in the Americas during the second quarter, although the company attributed most of the increase to market share gains rather than broad growth in regional aluminum demand.

Americas sales volume rose 7.7% year over year to 65,200 metric tons in the second quarter from 60,600 metric tons in 2025, exceeding the 5.3% increase recorded during the first half of the year.
