Almatis, a global leader in specialty alumina products and solutions, has established a new calcined alumina plant in Huangdao within the Qingdao Economic Development Zone in China. Through this new facility, Almatis will double its capacity in the region, aiming to meet the growing demand for raw materials in several key industries, particularly technical ceramics, electronic components, and EVs.

He said, "The new investment in the Qingdao Economic Development Zone is a strategic move to strengthen the company's global leadership in alumina products."

The new plant will be constructed on a 5,500 m² site in the Qingdao Economic Development Zone, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held. Almatis began operations in China in 1998. With this investment, Almatis will open its fourth plant in China, further strengthening its production network.
