aluminium expo|Chalco Ruimin: Seizing the New Track of Lightweight Aluminum Materials for New Energy Vehicles

Since the beginning of this year, Chalco Ruimin has repeatedly reported excellent results in the production and sales of key automotive panels. In 2023, Chalco Ruimin achieved a year-on-year increase of over 35% in automotive panel production and over 40% in sales. They broke the foreign monopoly in automotive exterior panels, obtained certification from more than 10 well-known automotive brand manufacturers, and secured qualifications for supplying materials to more than 30 vehicle models. Chalco Ruimin has risen to become a leading domestic supplier of automotive panels, seizing the significant market opportunities in lightweight aluminum materials for new energy vehicles.

Chalco Ruimin always keeps in mind the importance of the nation and operates with a market-oriented approach. With unwavering confidence, a sense of urgency, and unwavering perseverance, they have steadily expanded and strengthened the automotive panel market. They have achieved original breakthroughs "from 0 to 1," practical applications "from 1 to 100," and mass production development "from 100 to 10,000." During the market promotion of automotive panels, Chalco Ruimin astutely identified that the 6-series automotive body exterior panel was the critical bottleneck product that had long relied on imports. In contrast, the technical threshold for the 5-series automotive body interior panel was relatively lower, and it had already achieved domestic production.

"Thanks to the efforts of the Chalco Ruimin automotive panel project team in the technological prototype development and industrialization of 6-series automotive panels, Chalco Ruimin's 6-series automotive panels have reached a level in terms of performance, paintbrush lines, and stability during parking. Coupled with our strong production quality control system, Chalco Ruimin's 6-series automotive exterior panels are capable of replacing imports," said a Chalco Ruimin technical research and development staff member. The hard-core strength in technological innovation and quality control gives Chalco Ruimin's marketing team great confidence when expanding into the market.

In 2023, Chalco Ruimin fully tapped into the resources of the "urban mines," achieving a new high in aluminum scrap recycling and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.18 million tons. Their distributed photovoltaic power generation projects successfully connected to the grid, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 34,000 tons. Chalco Ruimin's green and low-carbon automotive panel brand has gained favor from major global automakers and obtained qualifications from several renowned automotive suppliers. According to information from the aluminium expo, Chalco Ruimin's market share in the automotive panel industry ranks among the top three, with their share in the market for body cover exterior panels ranking high among domestic suppliers.
