Chinese aluminum rolling processing equipment industry

The Chinese aluminum rolling processing equipment industry has accelerated its overseas expansion in the past decade, moving from 'single machine export' to a high-level stage of 'whole line output+engineering general contracting+standard output'. Represented by Chinalco International, a new overseas contract worth 22.1 billion yuan will be signed in 2025, and a billion dollar electrolytic aluminum EPC project will be successfully implemented, achieving the full chain of 'technology+equipment+service' going global; China's First Heavy Industry has broken through the localization of 2400mm aluminum plate hot rolling mill, and China Nonferrous Metals Technology has broken the foreign monopoly on 2300mm six high cold rolling mill. Domestic equipment has reached the international advanced level in thickness accuracy (± 3 μ m), intelligent temperature control, and full process quality control. Enterprises use the 'resource+equipment+energy' bundling model, such as Shandong Innovation Group bringing 29 domestically produced equipment to Saudi Arabia to build an electrolytic aluminum project, deeply binding to the low-cost energy market; Guangdong Airlines Group exports its entire production line to six countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, covering all scenarios such as extrusion, cold rolling, and intelligent production lines. At the policy level, the Implementation Plan for the High Quality Development of the Aluminum Industry (2025 – 2027) clearly encourages high-end equipment to 'go global' and expand emerging markets in Africa, Central Asia, Mexico and other regions relying on the 'the Belt and Road' and the RCEP mechanism. Although the tax rebate for aluminum exports has been canceled, equipment as a high-end manufacturing category has not been affected. Currently, domestic aluminum rolling equipment has covered over 70% of the world's emerging aluminum processing capacity construction, and technical standards are accelerating their export overseas, becoming a landmark force for the transition from 'Made in China' to 'Made in China'.
