[SMM News] On the first working day after the holiday, die-casting zinc alloy enterprises began to resume production gradually, but the overall pace of production resumption was relatively slow, and the industry's operating rate did not reach 10% this week. Currently, the demand for hardware and zipper orders received by enterprises is favorable, which has accelerated the shipment pace of some enterprises.
