How it reaches your house.
Starting from Alcoa Corporation, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Norsk Hydro →supply upAluminum Extrusions (Apparatus Body)
Restarting Slovalco restores Norsk Hydro aluminum capacity, which should increase availability of its extrusion product line.
66% confidenceNorsk Hydro →supply upAluminum Flat-Rolled Sheet (Automotive / Can Stock)
The Slovalco restart should lift Hydro's overall aluminum output, supporting more flat-rolled sheet supply.
61% confidenceNorsk Hydro →supply upAluminum Fin Stock (heat exchanger)
More smelter output can indirectly improve Hydro's downstream aluminum product availability, including fin stock, though the linkage is less direct.
Hop 2
Aluminum Extrusions (Apparatus Body) →supply upThis product has a high-dependency (0.8) aluminum-extrusion input, so renewed supply should raise its downstream availability.
88% confidenceAluminum Extrusions (Apparatus Body) →supply upFirefighting equipment and supplies
Aluminum extrusions are a strong input to this good (dependency_strength 0.7), so the restart should modestly improve supply.
83% confidenceAluminum Extrusions (Apparatus Body) →supply upHop 3
Luggage, handbags & travel goods →supply upAluminum Extrusions (Apparatus Body)
Slovalco's restart should increase aluminum availability, easing supply of the aluminum extrusions used in luggage bodies.
82% confidenceOutdoor & patio furniture →supply upAluminum Extrusions (Apparatus Body)
A restart at Slovalco implies more aluminum output, which should ease supply of this critical aluminum-extrusion input for outdoor furniture.
76% confidenceBicycles & e-bikes →supply upHop 4
Bicycle Frame (Aluminum/Carbon) →supply upBicycle frames are a critical input to bicycles and e-bikes, so renewed aluminum supply should materially improve frame availability and downstream production.
