Industrial aluminum profiles become the "new favorite"

International Capital Optimistic about China's Aluminum Profile Market Three years ago, the US’s third-largest aluminum company, Eagle Capital Group, has acquired a 26.6% stake in Asian aluminum plants listed in Hong Kong. After the merger of the two aluminum giants at home and abroad, they spent a total of 2 The company has acquired more than 100 million yuan in mergers and acquisitions between Nanhai Haihua and Hongjia Aluminum Processing Plants. The Asian Aluminum Plant has subsequently “accomplished” its aluminum processing plants in Guangya, Xinya, Pan Asia, and Central Asia in its own camp. Japan's professional management companies have also entered the "outsourcing" management of Jianmei aluminum materials. At the same time, it will also strengthen the construction of production bases in the country. Foshan Nanhai District will build a non-ferrous metal industrial park and Guangdong International Nonferrous Metal Exhibition and Trade Center.

Mark Enmori, president of Yingdu Aluminum, believes that China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of aluminum profiles in the future. After joining the WTO, with the reduction of trade barriers, China's market advantages and lower production costs will form a huge competitiveness. In order to compete for the potential market in Mainland China, the preferred choice is to establish a production base in China.

However, Liu Haitao, general manager of Taicang Weigema Co., Ltd., said in an exclusive interview with this reporter that the main purpose of China's aluminum profiles is to build aluminum profiles, while ignoring the production and application of industrial aluminum profiles. The foreign industrial aluminum profiles are used throughout aluminum. Profiles account for 70% of the market, and our domestic figure is 10%.

“At present, China continues to accelerate the production and application of industrial aluminum profiles, because the market demand for aluminum profiles for industrial use is very large,” Liu Haitao said. “For example, Chinese machinery manufacturers have a headache that they cannot find suitable industrial aluminum profiles. Most of the machinery manufacturers In the development of new products, the machines are designed based on the existing aluminum profiles, and industrial aluminum profiles cannot be selected according to the existing machines, which greatly increases the cost of the machine manufacturer.”

Liu Haitao revealed that at present, most of China's use of industrial aluminum profiles has been imported from abroad. Although the price is tens or even hundreds of times expensive, aluminum profiles suitable for existing machines can be found. The main reason is that foreign countries have a set of “industry standard system” in the production of industrial aluminum profiles. Industrial aluminum profiles produced according to this set of industry standards have a standard, like a monitor, on every computer. Can use the same.

Liu Haitao also believes that the current market structure of aluminum profiles in China is unreasonable. For example, only 20% of foreign building doors and windows use aluminum doors and windows. Most of them are made of PVC steel doors and windows, and in China this figure is 60%. PVC Only 1% of doors and windows are occupied. This is also one of the reasons for the lack of supply of industrial aluminum profiles.
