US Automaker Supply Chain in Turmoil: Novelis Resumes Output for Ford Trucks Amid BASF Supplier Shortages A critical component of the US automotive supply chain has been restored, as Novelis, a leading aluminum producer, has resumed output for Ford trucks. The move comes as a relief to the automaker, which had been facing a shortage of aluminum sheets for its best-selling F-Series trucks. However, the resumption of production is tempered by a warning from BASF, a major supplier of chemicals to the automotive industry, that it is facing its own supplier shortages. The BASF warning suggests that the disruptions to the supply chain may be more widespread than initially thought, and could have far-reaching consequences for the US automotive industry.
