Expand the Application Scope of High-end Aluminum Products to Drive the Light-weight Transportation Development in China Publisher: admin    Update Time: 2014-07-08

The board of directors of Brazil Prolind has paid a special visit to China Zhongwang. Prolind has been known as a company that specializes in manufacturing light metal parts. It also offers clients, most of whom are large-scale auto enterprises, with the high-quality aluminum alloy materials and aluminum end products.

During the visit, Prolind has reached an agreement with China Zhongwang on the development of extrusion products, paving way for future cooperation.

China Zhongwang has placed emphasis on the lightweight development in  the transposition field, as shown by its development strategies in the deep-processed and aluminum flat-rolled business. According to the financial figures of the first quarter (compared with the same period of last year), the sale of deep-processing products increased by 33% to around 15,000 tonnes, driving the export sales revenue to RMB$500 million, a y-o-y increase of 36.4%. The overseas market made up of 14% of the total revenue. Since 2013, China Zhongwang has developed a series of high added-value deep-processed product prototypes such as the all-aluminum body compartments, semi-trailers and aluminum special vehicles, which have also captured the attention of potential clients. With regard to the aluminum flat-rolled business, the group has commenced its preliminary plant construction and overseas talent recruitment. Besides, equipment introduced from Germany and USA will also be delivered and installed as planned. 

Aluminium is regarded as an effective metal for facilitating light-weight development in transportation. Increasing usage of aluminium for the transportation sector can effectively reduce gas emission of automobiles and help ease widespread smog pollution in China. The Group has been actively advancing the aluminium flat rolled product business, a project that not only conforms to the light-weight development trend in the transportation sector, but also helps make up for China's lack of production capacity for such high-end products like medium-to-high thickness aluminium alloy plate.
