A few days ago, the reporter learned from the High-tech Zone that Zhaoqing City's key project, Asia Aluminum Industry City (abbreviated as Alcoa), has undergone more than two years of construction. The first phase of the aluminum section project has been completed with civil works, and administrative facilities, living areas and other auxiliary facilities have been built. In the final stage, the second phase of the aluminum strip project is stepping up civil construction. Alcoa is a major industrial project introduced in the first “Zhaoqing Golden Autumn†economic and trade fair in Zhaoqing City in 2003. All along, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have attached great importance to the progress of the Asian Aluminum Project. Major provincial and municipal leaders have visited Alcoa to see the construction of the project several times, warming the project construction. Today, the first phase of 300,000 tons of aluminum profiles and supporting project plants have been completed. About 14 production line operations in the casting workshop and 13 extrusion lines in the extrusion workshop. 5 production lines in the surface treatment workshop. About 400 tons of aluminum profiles in the run-in period. . The office building has been officially put into use, and the administrative and living areas such as training centers, staff quarters, canteens, etc. are undergoing exterior wall and interior decoration. Water plants, gas stations, and gas stations have been constructed and installed. Water and gas are provided to the Industrial City. At present, the total capital for the ordering of production and design in the Industrial City is approximately US$ 400 million. This year, it has invested a total of approximately 600 million yuan, and has accumulated a total investment of approximately 5.5 billion yuan. The second phase of the aluminum strip plant has a total investment of 4.3 billion yuan (including equipment investment). The civil construction is currently underway. The civil engineering part plans to invest about 1 billion yuan. Currently, about 50,000 square meters of workshops are being hoisted. Driven by the radiation of Asia Aluminum, in the past two years, nearly 10 companies producing aluminum products and stainless steel products such as Australia Aluminum and Yihua Stainless Steel Aluminum have settled in the High-tech Zone. A metal industrial belt with an annual output value of nearly RMB 40 billion has rapidly emerged in the high-tech zone, and it has increasingly exerted its industrial radiation and driving effects.
