Lw 2010 - The 4^th Aluminum Profile Technology Seminar and Exposition

December 4-5, 2010

Theme：Sustained development of China’s aluminum extrusion capabilities and broadening of aluminum extrusion applications

The event was held at the time when the global aluminum industry as well asChina’s aluminum industry was faced with serious challenges after the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009. The timing of the event was perfect in the sense thatChinawas about to enter a new period of the five-year plan (2011-2015). Reaching the targets set for this period will present tremendous opportunities for the growth of the domestic market of aluminum products.

Officials fromChina’s Non-Ferrous Metals Association and other organizations attended the opening ceremony and give plenary presentations. It was made clear that challenges and opportunities coexisted inChina’s aluminum extrusion industry and upgrading products and technology would be the key to the success.
