Dear Members,
I am writing to inform you that the Australian Glass and Window Association has initiated an anti-dumping case jointly with Ventora Group Pty Limited. This case has now been accepted for investigation by the Anti-Dumping Commission. The application relates to fully and partially fabricated aluminium windows and doors imported from China. This action has been taken with the aim of ensuring a level playing field, compliant fair trade, and to protect the long-term viability of Australia’s window and door industry.
Why this matters:
Our aluminium window manufacturing sector directly generates $2.72 billion in revenue and employs over 9,000 Australians. The broader supply chain—including glass processing, extrusion, glazing, installation, and hardware—creates an $8.85 billion ecosystem supporting more than 26,000 jobs across metropolitan and regional communities.
Let me be clear: not all imports are problematic, and many companies operate responsibly. However, when the market is being distorted by alleged dumping, action is required to restore balance and protect a level playing field.
AGWA and its members uphold rigorous standards aligned with Australian building standards and regulations. This action is not about creating barriers—it is about ensuring that every participant competes on equal terms, maintaining integrity and sustainability in our industry.
