Braidy Atlas is to collaborate with the BMW Group on sustainability and technical / qualification for the supply of series 5xxxx and 6xxxx aluminium sheet.

Included is a closed-loop recycling strategy leveraging Braidy Atlas’ logistically optimal location in Ashland, Kentucky, and in close proximity to BMW’s car production plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Braidy Atlas recently announced its intention to become the first North American rolling mill to use 100% green inputs from inception. As the first US rolling mill to obtain a low-emissions air permit from the Federal EPA, Braidy has targeted 20% lower emissions than competitors. Craig Bouchard, CEO of Braidy said: “Our low-cost, high-quality, low-carbon footprint allows material improvement in global supply chain costs for BMW as a key customer.”
