World’s top aluminium maker plans further expansion

SHANGHAI: The world’s biggest aluminum producer has grown nearly five-fold in five years. It’s about to get even bigger.

China Hongqiao Group Ltd, which last year surpassed Russia’s United Co Rusal Plc as the biggest maker of the metal, would expand capacity by 16% this year to about 6 million tonnes, chief executive officer Zhang Bo said at a press conference in Hong Kong.
