Because its manufacture requires a large amount of electricity, aluminum is considered a “Swiss raw material.” In 1888, Europe’s first hydro-powered aluminum plant was put into operation in Neuhausen. The lightweight metal became cheaper and, after being adopted by the aircraft industry, made inroads into Swiss households. During World War II, aluminum replaced then-scarce steel and experienced a boom in field kitchens and elsewhere.
