Aluminium Alloy Division

The Aluminium Alloy Division is Midas’ principal business division, which is engaged in the production of aluminium alloy extrusion products since 2001 through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Jilin Midas Aluminium Industries Co., Ltd. ("Jilin Midas")

Our Aluminium Alloy Division manufactures a wide variety of large-section and high-precision aluminium alloy extrusion products which are primarily used in the body frames of high-speed passenger trains and metro trains. Our aluminium alloy extrusion products are also used in components for other end-products used in power and other industries. All of our aluminium alloy extrusion products are manufactured on a customised basis in accordance with our customers’ specifications and quality standards.

In July 2009, we expanded our operations to include downstream fabrication capabilities, becoming one of the first and amongst the few in the aluminium alloy extrusion industry in the PRC to possess such capabilities. This has enabled us to produce train car body components, such as roofing, flooring, side panels which are based on our customers’ specifications and are ready for assembly by our customers upon receipt with limited further processing.

We have an established track record of supply aluminium alloy extrusion products to more than 30 high-speed train and metro projects in the PRC since 2003. Since 2004, we have also successfully exported/secured contracts to supply aluminium alloy extrusion products for international passenger rail transportation projects. Examples of projects secured include:

Our aluminium alloy production facilities are strategically located in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, PRC. In line with our strategy to be in close proximity to our customers, we are establishing a second production plant in Luoyang City, Henan Province.  The close proximity to the production bases of our major customers has led to shorter delivery and response times, reduced transportation and storage costs and fostered closer working relationships with those customers.
