Demand for high grade aluminum alloys is growing

Shandong Nanshan Aluminum Co, an aluminum company, expects increased demand for high-grade aluminum alloys used in high-speed rail, aerospace and transportation sectors.

The company is building an aircraft material industrial park that will be used by internationally renowned aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus.

Nanshan Aluminum has a complete aluminum production chain, covering the top and bottom of the entire aluminum industry, including energy products, electrolytic aluminum, aluminum profile and sheets, aluminum foil, and so on.
The main products of the company cover building materials, industrial materials, precision aluminum sheet, body parts.

The aluminum company plans to implement a high-precision, multifunctional aluminum project in Longkou with a capacity of 40,000 tonnes per year. The project is expected to take three years to build, aluminum company Shandong Nanshan said. The construction costs of the facility, according to the project, will reach $ 125.340 million. Over the next years, China could significantly increase its annual production of primary aluminum as new factories are being built in resource-rich provinces.

China is the largest aluminum producer and consumer in the world, with annual demand growing by an average of 8.7 - 9 percent between 2011 and 2015. The transport and construction sectors remain the main driving force behind the growth of aluminum consumption in China. In addition, in 2015, about 10 million tons of aluminum is planned to be used in the implementation of the energy sector, which provides for the construction of a complex of solar and wind sources of cheap energy in the northwestern region of Xinjiang.
