Northwest Aluminum Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Northwest Aluminum) is affiliated to China Aluminum Group Co., Ltd. and is a domestic comprehensive large-scale aluminum processing enterprise. The company currently has a production capacity of 12,000 tons, more than 1,600 employees, a total asset of 1.087 billion yuan, and the enterprise covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 mu.

Northwest Aluminum was originally a third-line military relocation enterprise. It was founded in July 1965. The original design leading products were equipped with aviation military enterprises. Most of the equipment and personnel were moved into Factory 101 (now Northeast Light Alloy Co., Ltd.), and it has been around now. It has a history of 55 years. Over the past 55 years, Northwest Aluminum has provided the country with about 1 million tons of aluminum and aluminum alloy materials, and has provided 200,000 tons of military materials for my country's defense and military industry, contributing to my country's aerospace, national defense and military industry and industrialization in western China.

55 years ago, on a wasteland with overgrown weeds and continuous graves in the western suburbs of Longxi County, known as the important town of the Silk Road, the hometown of the Li family in the world, and the ancient county of Longxi. The roar sounded a third-line construction centered on preparation and military industry as the main body, and the construction of the Times called "One One-Three Factory" kicked off. Under the call of the era of "preparing for war, preparing for the people" and "good people are on the third line", a construction army of more than 5,000 people has raised their backpacks and gathered in the ancient county of Longxi. With hardships, sweats and lives, they began the feat of building Northwest aluminum and opened up the Northwest aluminum industry. The road. In April 1967, the third workshop of the extrusion factory was erected, and in December 1968, the 35MN extruder successfully produced the casting rod. From then on, a brand new factory rose up in the northwest of the motherland and became one of the key basic materials enterprises of my country's national defense and military industry. Its leading products are equipped with aviation, aerospace, and weapons and military enterprises, and initially laid the foundation for Northwest Aluminum as a national defense and military industry. The strategic position of serving the national backbone.

In the late 1980s, in order to actively respond to the national military-to-civilian call and adapt to the strong market demand for civilian aluminum plate and belt products, Northwest Aluminum conducted its second business, and built plate and belts through large-scale technological transformation and new projects. Production line, foil production line. After the outbreak of the financial crisis, due to homogeneous competition in calendered aluminum, Northwest aluminum is located in a remote place with the market outside and the blank outside. The calendered products have lost their market competitiveness. The calendered line was closed in 2014, and the planned 200,000 tons of continuous The casting and continuous rolling project has been discontinued, and Northwest Aluminum has withdrawn from the historical stage of the plate and strip market.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, especially after the Party Committee of China Aluminum Company adjusted the new leadership team of Northwest Aluminum in 2015, in order to implement the five major development concepts of "innovation, coordination, greenness, openness and sharing" and the development of the "Belt and Road" proposed by the Party Central Committee. Strategy, Northwest Aluminum takes "one center (centered with economic benefits) and two focus points (strictly governing the party, strict governance of enterprises; courage to reform, bold innovation)" as its guiding ideology, and "super capable main business, profound implementation Processing; revitalizing stocks, realizing value preservation and appreciation; separation of main and auxiliary, building a harmonious enterprise" is the work idea, based on the material advantages of extrusion, actively promoting supply-side reform, unswervingly developing deep processing, further extending the industrial chain and value chain, and establishing The deep machining center has jointly built a powder material and welding wire production line, and started the third entrepreneurship of Northwest Aluminum.

Northwest Aluminum has five main production lines: melt casting, extrusion, deep processing, powder material, and aluminum welding material. It has a relatively complete aluminum processing major in smelting, casting, extrusion, heat treatment, finishing, powdering, deep processing, aluminum welding wire and other aluminum processing majors. Production equipment and supporting auxiliary equipment such as power, molds, test and inspection. The extrusion production line is the main production line of Northwest aluminum, with 10 main equipments of 6MN~55MN extruders. The 36MN extruder project with an investment of 100 million yuan was completed and put into production in 2019. The extruder uses the advanced reverse extrusion technology and automatic control technology of SMS Germany. It is the first extrusion equipment in China to use robots to complete auxiliary operations. The 30-meter quenching furnace equipped with C919 is the largest quenching furnace in the domestic industry. At the same time, the company has successively completed the "water-to-oil" transformation of four hydraulic presses in accordance with the development strategy. The newly added 55MN forward double-action extruder, melt casting No. 4 machine series, and 1500-ton stretching machine have all been put into production. The company's equipment continues to be in the domestic industry. cutting edge.

The leading products of Northwest aluminum are 14 categories including aluminum and aluminum alloy pipes, rods, molds, wires, rows, powders, welding wires, cast aluminum materials and deep-processed products. The product features are multi-variety, multi-alloy, multi-spec, high added value and strong technical intensiveness. The products are widely used in nuclear industry, aviation, aerospace, weapons, ships, transportation, air separation and petroleum industries. Northwest Aluminum’s small and medium-sized pipe rod profiles have unique technological cutting-edge advantages in the domestic industry and are also a domestic supplier of a special pipe for the nuclear industry. Northwest Aluminum has made important contributions to the support of materials such as my country's launch vehicles, Shenzhou series of spacecraft, and large aircraft.

Northwest Aluminum was recognized as the Gansu Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center in 2016, a high-tech enterprise in 2017, and a provincial industrial design center in 2019, with ISO9001, HSE, AS9100C, GJB9001B, PED, Nadcap, and weapons and equipment scientific research. Production license, first-level safety standardization and other qualifications.
