The project of Huolin Gol Yongtai Aluminum Industry for an annual capacity of 60,000 mt of aluminum alloy round casting ingots has been fully accelerated, with foundation construction now basically completed. The first production line is expected to begin equipment installation and commissioning within a week. The project, with a total investment of nearly 100 million yuan, focuses on the high-end aluminum semis niche market, featuring high-quality aluminum alloy bars and aluminum alloy ingots. These products can precisely meet the urgent demand for raw materials from downstream high-end manufacturing industries such as auto parts, electronics and electrical appliances, and precision hardware, effectively filling the supply gap in regional high-end aluminum semis capacity and solving the development challenge of low-end overcapacity and insufficient high-end capacity in the local aluminum industry.
