Asia’s leading trade show for the aluminium industry supply chain, Aluminium China 2018, is scheduled to return next month bringing together leading industry figures, state-of-the-art technologies and advanced applications.

The event will take place from 11 to 13 July at the Shanghai New International Expo Center in Shanghai, China.

Since the launch of the ‘Made in China 2025’ strategy more than two years ago, China has made great strides towards becoming the world’s leading manufacturing hub. And it is against this backdrop that the Chinese aluminium industry is shifting its focus from speed to high-quality growth and gearing up for technological advances, driven by demand from global industries such as aerospace, automotive, building and construction, transportation and consumer durables.

Therefore, Aluminium China 2018 will focus on global innovation and put the spotlight on aerospace and automotive materials and new processing technologies, along with innovative, smart and green manufacturing trends, helping to open up a new chapter in the aluminium industry.

In 2017, China’s electrolytic aluminium output was 36.5 million tons, representing an increase of 12.2%; while downstream processed output, including aluminium sheets, extrusion, foils, wires, powders and casts, was 38.2 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 8.5%. At the same time, aluminium consumption has continued to rise, thanks to new emerging markets.

According to the organiser of Aluminium China, Reed Exhibitions China, this year’s event will feature a larger exhibition area than in 2017 and the number of trade visitors is expected to surpass 20,000. International visitors will come mainly from Southeast Asia, with Thailand providing the largest contingent.

Aluminium China 2018 will play its part in boosting industry growth as the event continues to attract more and more industry leaders.
