SHANGHAI, Apr 2 (SMM) – Aluminium extrusion producers in north China are resuming operations gradually as the two political sessions and restrictions for the heating season ended last month, an SMM survey showed.
One company in Hebei province told SMM that it has three out of its five machines operating and that the company’s orders for April are getting close to its maximum capacity.
We expect orders at aluminium processing companies to rise month on month in April due to a delayed downstream consumption recovery.
