Of some 74,000 people employed in the German aluminium industry, about 15,000 work in the packaging sector. In 2016 the sector had a turnover of 2.3 billion euros, representing around 16 per cent of the total turnover of the industry. This is equivalent to some 414,000 tonnes. Thus about eleven per cent of the total production of the aluminium industry is used in the packaging sector, making it the third largest market for aluminium products in Germany.
