SHANGHAI, Nov 11 (SMM) – Social inventories of refined zinc across Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangdong declined 1,100 mt from November 8 to stand at 140,400 mt as of November 11, SMM data showed.

Inventories in Shanghai were 2,200 mt lower and that in Guangdong 1,500 mt lower from last Friday, as reduced futures prices improved downstream procurement while a moderate amount of cargoes entered warehouses.

However, greater arrivals and weak purchases grew stocks in Tianjin by 2,500 mt over the weekend.

According to China News Service, on April 16, at the plant of Jiuquan Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. in Jiayuguan City, Gansu Province, automated equipment was producing a new generation of zinc-aluminum-magnesium products. It was reported that the group assembled a specialized team to tackle zinc-aluminum-magnesium technology. Against the backdrop of formidable external technical barriers and the absence of batch production track records in China, the team spent six years of intensive efforts to produce China's first coil of zinc-aluminum-magnesium products with proprietary intellectual property rights. At the end of 2025, JISCO's new generation of zinc-aluminum-magnesium products was unveiled. This product category represents the most technically challenging variety in the hot-dip galvanizing industry. JISCO is the only company in China to have achieved large-scale batch production, filling the technological gap in related fields in China. The products have been successfully applied in highly corrosive environments such as cooling towers, motor housings, energy storage, and offshore PV, and have been exported to multiple countries including Thailand, the Philippines, and Argentina.
