Green Journey, Co-Creating a New Chapter in the Circular Economy. In the face of global climate change and increasingly scarce resources, sustainable development has become a major challenge for the world. As a key part of the non-ferrous metals industry, the aluminum industry not only drives economic growth but also bears the historical mission of reducing environmental footprints and achieving the goals of "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality."
Against this backdrop, Shanghai and Anhui, as important provinces in east China, are leveraging their strong industrial base and forward-looking circular economy policies to gradually become new highlands for the development of the domestic secondary aluminum industry. Secondary aluminum, as a model for energy conservation, emission reduction, and improving resource utilization efficiency, is increasingly highlighting its strategic value. With their comprehensive advantages in geographical location, resource aggregation, and policy support, Shanghai and Anhui have attracted numerous secondary aluminum enterprises, forming a complete industry chain from aluminum scrap recycling and processing to high-end aluminum alloy production.
To this end, SMM organized a field trip to Shanghai and Anhui's secondary aluminum industry, aiming to gather industry elites, deeply explore the forefront of Anhui's secondary aluminum industry, and jointly discuss the green development path of the secondary aluminum industry. On April 14, SMM and the field trip members visited Anhui Kaifei New Material Technology Co., Ltd. (Runsheng Group) for exchanges.
Company Profile
Zhejiang Runsheng Holding Group Co., Ltd. was established in 2016, with its headquarters located by the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The group has over 20 companies and several high-tech enterprises in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Anhui.
The company's business mainly involves the production and manufacturing of secondary aluminum and secondary copper, domestic and international trade of bulk commodities, asset management, and private equity fund management.
By 2024, the group had cumulatively invested in and operated seven secondary aluminum and secondary copper factories, serving over 2,000 corporate clients in the trade and asset management sectors, as well as more than 100 commercial banks and other financial institutions.
Since its establishment, the group has adhered to the sustainable development philosophy of "standardized operation, service first," and has established comprehensive strategic cooperation with various domestic and overseas enterprises, financial institutions, state-owned enterprises, and governments.
Anhui Kaifei New Material Technology Co., Ltd. mainly produces aluminum and copper products, which are widely used in NEV components. The company's major clients include renowned automakers such as Geely and Chery, and its industrial scope covers automobiles, ships, machinery, aerospace, electronics, and fast-moving consumer goods. The company has reached a cooperation intention with Anqing Zhenyi Automobile for automotive parts projects and has also reached a consensus with Huanxin and Aisin on liquid aluminum direct supply projects, strengthening and complementing the upstream development of Anqing's NEV industry chain.
The company has introduced advanced technologies from Germany and Japan, creating the only fully intelligent and automated production line in China that covers feeding, smelting, aluminum extraction, ball milling, harmless treatment, packaging, and warehousing. This can save over 50% of human resource costs, improve production efficiency by more than 30%, and reduce energy consumption, aluminum loss, and total pollutant emissions by 50%. The total investment in the project is 5.1 billion yuan, divided into three phases, with the first phase totaling 800 million yuan, building one automotive aluminum semis production line and four automotive copper semis production lines.
Anhui Kaifei New Material Technology Co., Ltd. , is a key investment attraction enterprise of Zhejiang Runsheng Holding Group in Yingjiang, Anqing.
