This is also the reason why the aluminum sheet factory is always emphasized when buying products. The aluminum sheet factory generally does not have a lot of inventory. Whenever the price of aluminum sheets is still calculated according to the aluminum ingot price on the day of delivery. In other words, whenever your interests are not affected.
