Weifang Longda Zinc Industry Co., Ltd. Invites You to the 2026 SMM Zinc Conference

Published: Jul 15, 2026 09:57

As the inaugural year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," 2026 sees the zinc industry undergoing profound transformation against a backdrop of intensifying global macro fluctuations and the deepening of China's high-quality development initiatives. Structural tension has emerged between tight ore supply and the release of smelting capacity; diverging inventory trends inside and outside China reflect a complex supply-demand rebalancing; and technological innovation has become a key driver for resolving bottlenecks and reshaping the competitive landscape. New energy, new-type infrastructure, and other key areas highlighted in the 15th Five-Year Plan are injecting fresh momentum into traditional zinc consumption. Meanwhile, green, low-carbon, and circular economy imperatives, propelled by technological innovation, are accelerating the restructuring of the industry's underlying logic.

With the collective support of upstream and downstream enterprises across the zinc industry, industry associations, and relevant stakeholders, SMM 2026 Zinc Industry Conference —held jointly with the 8th Hot-Dip Galvanizing Industry Development and Technology Innovation Forum, the 14th Zinc Salt, Zinc Oxide, and Secondary Zinc Resource Development Forum, and the Foundry Zinc Alloy Development Forum—is about to convene from August 6 to 8 in Qingdao, Shandong. Under the theme "Converging Zinc Momentum, Building the Zinc Industry, Embarking on a New Journey," the conference is driven by the twin engines of macro perspectives and fundamental analysis. Adhering closely to the high-quality development thread of the 15th Five-Year Plan, it focuses on four key dimensions—macro policies, supply-demand patterns, global trade, and technological innovation—aiming to drive cost reduction and efficiency gains through technological breakthroughs, address market volatility through collaborative innovation, and jointly chart a new blueprint for the high-quality, sustainable development of the zinc industry.Weifang Longda Zinc Industry Co., Ltd. will be prominently attending this grand event, joining industry peers to explore development trends and jointly propel the zinc industry to new heights.

I. Indonesia Plant

Location: Kawasan Industri Modern Cikande, Modern Industrial Road, Block W, Number 3, Kecamatan Kibin, Kabupaten Serang, Provinsi Banten.

Phase 1 of the base focuses on the production of multiple zinc products, including zinc oxide, zinc alloy, and zinc ingot. Among them, zinc oxide capacity reaches 60,000 mt/year, with commissioning and trial operation scheduled for October 2026. Zinc alloy and zinc ingot production lines are concurrently being established to enhance product supply capabilities. The primary output will be indirect process zinc oxide, ISCC PLUS-certified recycled zinc oxide, and national-standard zinc alloy and zinc ingot, supporting the company's expansion into global markets and extending its global green capacity footprint.

II. Vietnam Plant

Location: Phuoc Long Industrial Zone, Street No. 1, My An Commune, Tay Ninh Province.

The base is being developed in multiple phases. The zinc alloy and zinc ingot project has already commenced operations, with a capacity of 20,000 mt/year. Phase 2 plans for a zinc oxide capacity of 30,000 mt/year, which is expected to be realized in Q1 2027, fully covering the production of all categories—zinc alloy, zinc ingot, and zinc oxide—to complete the overseas product matrix.

3. Two Major Production Sites in China (Integrated Layout)

Leveraging profound technical expertise, Longda Zinc Industry’s plant focuses on the production of indirect process zinc oxide and ISCC PLUS certified recycled zinc oxide, with an annual capacity of 60,000 mt. Renowned for consistent quality and excellent performance, its products are widely used in various industrial fields such as rubber tires, paints and coatings, and ceramics, meeting both the demands of traditional industrial production and the stringent standards of high-end manufacturing. The company has built a reliable brand image in the market and, as a participant in standard-setting, contributes practical experience to the industry’s standardized development.

Longda New Materials specializes in the resource recovery of zinc-containing solid waste, equipped with mature production processes and a comprehensive supporting system. The site can handle 3 categories of general industrial solid waste containing zinc (hot-dip galvanizing slag, hot-dip silicon-aluminum-zinc slag, tire pyrolysis slag, etc.) and 11 categories of hazardous waste containing zinc (hot-dip galvanizing ash, steel mill ash, steel cord copper mud, etc.), with an annual disposal capacity of 260 kt. Through advanced resource recovery processes, various zinc-containing wastes are harmlessly and efficiently transformed into zinc ingots meeting national standards and zinc alloy products. This model addresses industrial solid waste pollution at the source, reduces reliance on primary ores, and achieves the recycling of zinc resources.

Once all four production sites in and outside China are fully operational, the company will achieve scale advantages with an annual capacity of 150 kt for zinc oxide, 100 kt for zinc ingot and zinc alloy, and a stable disposal capacity of 260 kt/year for solid and hazardous waste, further consolidating its industry position in zinc product manufacturing and resource recycling.

The US National Science Foundation announced that the University of Alaska Fairbanks-led Critical Mineral Accelerator Engine will receive US$15 million during its first two years. Subject to performance milestones and future appropriations, total funding could reach as much as US$160 million over the next decade. The initiative will support technologies across mineral exploration, extraction, processing and purification, including artificial intelligence, advanced geoscience and microbial mining methods. Alaska hosts occurrences of 56 of the 60 minerals classified as critical by the US Geological Survey and is home to the Red Dog zinc-lead mine and numerous polymetallic prospects. Industry participants include Alaska Silver, whose Illinois Creek project hosts silver- and gallium-rich galena mineralisation. The programme is expected to support exploration, processing innovation and workforce development for Alaska’s zinc, lead and other critical mineral resources.
