Jiangmen Xinhui Industrial Park Launches Graphene-Coated Carbon Aluminum Foil Trial Production

On March 26, the signing ceremony for the cooperation between Nanning Industrial Investment Group and Shanghai Dinghao New Material Technology Co., Ltd., along with the unveiling ceremony of Nanning Dinghao New Material Technology Co., Ltd., was held at the Chanto Aluminum-Based New Materials Xingning Industrial Park. Shanghai Dinghao New Materials is expected to invest 500 million yuan to build in Nanning a base project with an annual capacity of 60,000 mt of high-performance carbon-coated aluminum foil for new energy batteries.

On March 26, Dianjiang County held a signing event for investment promotion projects in Q1 2026, with a total of 28 projects signed and an agreed amount of 8.12 billion yuan. Among them, the project for the annual production of 50,000 mt of secondary aluminum and aluminum products processing planned to build 10 production lines for aluminum smelting and deep processing. After completion and commissioning, it could achieve an annual output value of 1.25 billion yuan and tax revenue of more than 10 million yuan.

According to a March 21 report, Ali Al Baqali, CEO of Aluminum Bahrain, said that as the traditional export route to global markets via the Strait of Hormuz was essentially closed, the company was transshipping aluminum products exports through Jeddah Port in Saudi Arabia. Al Baqali said that although the company had declared force majeure and cut production, about 40 to 60 of its exports were currently being transshipped through Saudi Arabia, and transportation costs had not risen significantly. Alba is the world's largest single-site aluminum smelter. Jeddah is located on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, about 1,400 kilometers by land from Alba's plant.
