Chart of ACH
ACH is involved in bauxite mining, alumina refining, and aluminium smelting businesses in China. Its
primary products include alumina, primary aluminium, aluminium fabricated products, gallium, and carbon-
related products. Its Alumina segment is responsible for the mining and purchasing bauxite and other raw

materials, refining bauxite into alumina, and selling alumina. This segment also produces and sells chemical
alumina, including alumina hydrate, alumina chemicals, and gallium. Its Aluminium segment is responsible
for procuring alumina and other raw materials, supplemental materials and electricity power, and smelting
alumina to produce primary aluminium; selling primary aluminium products; and producing and selling
carbon products and aluminium-alloy products.
The company’s Aluminium Fabrication segment engages in purchasing primary aluminium; other raw
materials; supplemental materials and electricity power; and further processing primary aluminium for the
production and sale of aluminium fabricated products, including casts, planks, screens, extrusions, forges,
powder, and die castings. ACH also provides design and consulting services; repair and maintenance
services for electrical plant and machinery; manufacturing and distributing alumina ceramic products and
electronic products; and processing and distributing non ferrous metals; alumina importing and exporting
operations. The company was founded in 2001 and is based in Beijing, China. Aluminium Corporation of
China Limited is a subsidiary of Aluminium Corporation of China.
After falling 5.3% in 2001, aluminium consumption rose by an average of 7.8% each year to 2007, mainly
due to Chinese consumption, which increased by an average of 23.7% each year over the same period.
Chinese aluminium consumption is the largest in the world, having overtaken the USA in 2004, with Japan
being the third largest consuming country.
The aluminium market will start to recover in the second half of 2010, and global growth of 4 to 5%, led by
China, is possible in 2011. Average growth in the global aluminium market to 2013 will be around 2.6%
each year resulting in total demand of about 58Mt.
The LME monthly average cash price for high grade aluminium fell from record high of US$3,070/t in July
2008 to US$1,329/t in February as LME stocks increased from 1.1Mt to 3.2Mt. In 2009, aluminium prices
will probably average US$1,400 to US$1,450/t. The large stocks are expected to overhang the market until
the slide in global demand stops, which is expected in early 2010.
Alumina prices have fallen as with the price of aluminium, but power costs remain high, and prices in early
2009 were less than the expenses of many producers.
Electrical power and alumina are the most costly inputs in the production of primary aluminium. A secure,
low cost and close source of power supply is a more important than either proximity to raw materials or
markets, when deciding on a location for an aluminium smelter.
