In the aluminum industry chain, traders serve not only as the "lubricant" connecting the smelting end with the consumption end, but also as the "buffer" balancing market supply and demand, and even as the "catalyst" driving industrial upgrading. In 2025, China's aluminum industry entered a critical period of green transformation and structural adjustment, during which the value of traders in industrial change became increasingly prominent. Against this backdrop, the selection of outstanding traders emerged. This selection activity aims to identify and honor trader groups that have made outstanding contributions to market stability and industrial synergy, set industry benchmarks, promote the aluminum industry chain toward higher efficiency, lower carbon, and greater synergy, and inject new momentum into the high-quality development of China's aluminum industry.

To help promote the sustained, healthy, harmonious, and efficient development of the domestic nonferrous metals industry, highlight outstanding enterprises, and set industry benchmarks, SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM) previously conducted the 2025 SMM Nonferrous Metals Industry "Top 10 High-Quality Aluminum Traders" selection activity. This selection employed a comprehensive multi-dimensional evaluation system: first, industry practitioners nominated outstanding trading enterprises; then, a panel of experts specially invited by SMM, comprising leaders from metal industry authorities, industry experts, and heads of upstream/downstream leading and supporting enterprises, conducted professional scoring. Combined with the results of online voting and scores from SMM's enterprise rating model, the final selection identified the 2025 SMM Nonferrous Metals "Top 10 High-Quality Aluminum Traders".

On November 25, at the banquet of the Shanghai Metals Expo (SME) 2025, organizedby SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. and SMM Trading Center Co., Ltd., SMM held a grand award ceremony for the 2025 SMM Nonferrous Metals "Top 10 High-Quality Aluminum Traders".

Alba Advances in Acquisition of Aluminium Dunkerque, Aims for Global Low-Carbon Aluminum Expansion

[SMM Aluminum Express News] Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) said its proposed acquisition of Aluminium Dunkerque is progressing, with the company working to secure the remaining regulatory approvals required to close the transaction. At its Q3 Board meeting on September 22, Chairman Khalid Al Rumaihi described the deal as an important step in Alba’s international expansion and its ambition to build a global low-carbon aluminum platform. Alba signed the agreement to acquire Aluminium Dunkerque in May 2026, with the transaction subsequently valued at around US$2.2 billion. Aluminium Dunkerque is the EU’s largest primary aluminum smelter, while Alba operates the world’s largest single-site aluminum smelter in Bahrain. The acquisition remains subject to outstanding regulatory approvals and has not yet closed. The Board also approved Alba’s preliminary 2027 Marketing Plan, while reviewing operational, commercial and governance matters. For aluminum supply, the main takeaway is that Alba remains committed to completing the Dunkerque acquisition despite the regional supply disruptions that affected its Bahrain operations earlier this year.

Guinea Seeks US Financing for CBG's Alumina Refinery Project

[SMM Aluminum Express News] Guinea is seeking US financing for Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinée’s (CBG) planned alumina refinery, as the country accelerates efforts to process more of its bauxite domestically. Guinea’s Mines Ministry said discussions were held on September 18 with the US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and US Export-Import Bank over potential involvement in financing the project. CBG aims to begin construction by the end of 2026, although the refinery’s financing requirement and potential US contribution have not yet been disclosed.

European Parliament Backs Expanded CBAM for Downstream Aluminum and Steel Products from 2028

[SMM Aluminum Express News] The European Parliament has backed a broader expansion of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to downstream aluminum and steel products from 2028. Parliament adopted its negotiating position on September 15 by 464 votes to 50, with 159 abstentions, supporting coverage beyond the European Commission’s original proposal for 180 additional downstream products, including aluminum-intensive products such as wire, fasteners, springs and certain finished goods. For aluminum, Parliament also proposes lowering the CBAM exemption threshold from 50 tonnes to just 5 tonnes, meaning smaller-volume importers could become subject to CBAM requirements. It also supports stronger anti-circumvention rules, including the use of emissions default values based on the actual country of origin where authorities suspect attempts to avoid CBAM obligations. The changes are not final yet, with negotiations with the EU Council still required. If adopted, the expansion would increase carbon-reporting and potentially carbon-cost exposure for exporters of downstream aluminum products into the EU, extending CBAM further beyond primary and semi-finished aluminum.
