Our aluminium alloy manufacturing and production activities are undertaken at Jilin Midas Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd, which was established on 12 April 2001 as a wholly foreign owned enterprise under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Our Aluminium Alloy Division, engages in the design and manufacture of large-section aluminium alloy extrusion products. We currently have two production lines, with annual capacity of up to 20,000 tonnes. Our production lines can produce large section aluminium alloy extrusion products of up to 28 metres in length and 0.7 metres in width for profiles and 0.48 metres in diameter for large diameter tubes and rods. Our large section aluminium alloy products are used in a variety of industries. They are utilised in the rail transportation industry to manufacture body frames of high-speed trains, MRT and LRT trains. In addition, our aluminium alloy products are also used in power stations for power transmission purposes, electrical energy distribution, transmission cables as well as production of mechanical parts for industrial equipment. Strategically located in the northeastern part of China, we enjoy close proximity and accessibility to major customers such as Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd.

We have achieved the distinction of being the only manufacturer in the PRC to be accredited with the Quality Focus Global Sourcing Grade ‘A’ international certification by ALSTOM Transport SA, in accordance to the ALSTOM Transport Standard. As a testimony to our capability to manufacture large-section aluminium alloy extrusion products, this certification enables us to be the global sourcing partner of all ALSTOM Transport units.

In addition, our Aluminium Alloy Division has entered into a Master Agreement with Siemens Akteingesellschaft, Berlin and Munich, Transportation Systems Group. Under this agreement, Siemens will engage our Aluminium Alloy Division as a long term high technology supplier of aluminium alloy extrusion products in the context of long term partnership-based cooperation on a global basis.

In recognition of our ability to supply the highest quality aluminium alloy extrusion products, our Aluminium Alloy Division was certified as an approved supplier to Changchun Bombardier Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd, a joint venture between Bombardier Transportation-the world leader in rail transportation manufacturing and China’s leading train manufacturer Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd.

We are now the only PRC certified supplier for the world’s three renowned train manufacturers, which is an endorsement of the quality of our aluminium alloy extrusion products. This recognition from ALSTOM, Siemens and Changchun Bombardier has provided us the platform to expand and grow our business both in the PRC and the international export markets.

Besides being involved in the various MRT projects being rolled out in the PRC cities such as the Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Tianjin, we are also involved in high-speed train projects such as the Beijing-Tianjin High-Speed Train Project and the Regional Line Phase 1 Project.

In 2004 and 2005, we successfully exported our large section aluminium alloy profiles to manufacture MRT body frames for the Singapore Circle Line Project and the Metro Oslo Project in Norway. We have further demonstrated our capabilities in supplying aluminium alloy profiles of international standards and meeting the stringent requirements of our international customers by securing the Valero Rus Project for the Russian market, Desiro Mainline Project for the European / ex-European markets and Helsinki-St. Petersburg High-Speed Train Project in 2007.
