en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chongqing Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Chongqing Iron & Steel," 601005.SH) announced on June 17, 2026, that it has completed the supply and delivery of all critical steel plates required for 160 units of 600KA electrolytic cells for the 600,000-ton aluminum smelter project of PT. Taijing Aluminum in Indonesia. Located in Indonesia, the project has a planned annual production capacity of 600,000 tons of electrolytic aluminum and will significantly enhance the region's self-sufficiency in aluminum metal upon completion. This delivery marks a further improvement in Chongqing Iron & Steel's competitiveness in the overseas high-end steel plate market.
Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Changshou District, Chongqing, China, Chongqing Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. is one of the core manufacturing bases of Central South Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Baowu Steel Group. The company has an annual steel production capacity of approximately 7 million tons, with main products including medium and heavy plates, hot-rolled coils, cold-rolled coils, and long products. Its "Sanfeng" brand steel plates are renowned as "China's No. 1 Plate." The Taijing Aluminum smelter project, supplied by Chongqing Iron & Steel, is located in Indonesia and is a national key project promoted by the Indonesian government to advance local resource deep processing and build a complete aluminum industry system. As core equipment for electrolytic aluminum production, the steel plates for electrolytic cells must meet stringent export-grade standards in tolerance control and surface quality, with an exceptionally tight delivery schedule. Facing these challenges, the Medium and Heavy Plate Business Center of Chongqing Iron & Steel quickly responded by forming a dedicated production, sales, and research team. They meticulously planned and efficiently coordinated across technical standard alignment, production process optimization, full quality control, and logistics assurance, while simultaneously establishing a fast logistics shipping channel. In April 2026, Chongqing Iron & Steel successfully completed all delivery tasks. Previously, the company had supplied main steel plates for 150 electrolytic cells of Vietnam's first metal aluminum production project—the Dak Nong Aluminum Smelter (with a designed annual capacity of 450,000 tons of aluminum)—accumulating valuable experience in overseas project supply assurance for this Indonesian project.
Indonesia, a globally significant bauxite resource country, is actively building its own complete aluminum industry system and accelerating the deep processing of resources. Against the backdrop of the alignment between China's "Belt and Road" Initiative and Indonesia's industrialization strategy, Chongqing Iron & Steel's successful delivery in this project holds demonstrative significance for industrial cooperation. Seizing this opportunity, Chongqing Iron & Steel will further enhance the market competitiveness and industry influence of the "Sanfeng" brand, continue to focus on the demand for high-end steel plates in overseas markets, and steadily advance toward its goal of "building the most competitive plate manufacturing base in Southwest China."
