Aluminium capacity of 322,500 mt to be commissioned in Liaoning

SHANGHAI, Jul 11 (SMM) – Yingkou Xintai Aluminum has secured green light to commission 322,500 mt of new primary aluminium capacity in Liaoning province in north China.

This is through a capacity swap between the company and Henan Yugang Longquan Aluminium, according to Liaoning Provincial Industry and Informatization Commission earlier this month.

Yingkou Xintai kicked off the construction of 460,000 mt of aluminium capacity in June 2012 and planned to commission the latest allowance this month.

The plant is located in Yingkou Coastal Industries Base and the old capacity in Henan province has been demolished.
