China Hongqiao Group Limited is one of the world’s leading primary aluminium producers, with operations spanning the entire value chain from bauxite mining and alumina refining to smelting and downstream packaging. The company’s core business focuses on the manufacture of low-carbon aluminium products used in industries such as automotive, construction, electronics and packaging. In addition to aluminium smelting, Hongqiao has diversified into power generation, coal mining and custom aluminium fabrication, enabling greater control over key inputs and energy costs.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Shandong Province, China Hongqiao Group has grown rapidly through the development of large-scale, energy-efficient smelting facilities. The company completed its initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2011. Over time, Hongqiao has invested in hydropower and solar power projects to support its smelters, reflecting a broader emphasis on reducing the carbon intensity of aluminium production.
Hongqiao’s operations extend beyond mainland China, with bauxite mining concessions in Indonesia and plans for resource development in Guinea. Its integrated supply chain model enables the company to secure raw materials and power while maintaining cost competitiveness. Finished aluminium products are distributed to domestic and international markets via a network of sales offices and logistics hubs that serve customers across Asia, Europe and North America.
The company was founded by entrepreneur Zhang Shiping, and its current leadership under co-chairman Zhang Bo continues to steer expansion and innovation. Hongqiao’s management team emphasizes technological upgrades and environmental stewardship, seeking to balance growth with the evolving regulatory landscape for carbon emissions. This strategic focus underpins the company’s goal of strengthening its position in the global aluminium industry.
