In the 1990s, the aluminum industrial cluster area in Huiguo Town, Gongyi City officially embarked on the development path of the aluminum processing industry. At the beginning of its development, it started with casting and rolling. In the absence of aluminum production and aluminum raw materials of its own, it relied on convenient transportation to purchase aluminum materials from surrounding counties and districts, gradually building an aluminum material transportation chain, laying a solid foundation for the development of the aluminum processing industry.
In the early 21st century, the aluminum industrial cluster area in Huiguo Town realized that the energy-intensive development model was unsustainable. Therefore, keeping up with the times, under the policy guidance of government special subsidies, a number of leading enterprises began to focus on technological innovation. They gradually made efforts in advanced aluminum industrial technology industrialization, clean energy, and high-end aluminum sales.
Since the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the aluminum industrial cluster area in Huiguo Town, Gongyi City has been committed to building an international influential trillion-dollar high-end aluminum industrial cluster. It plans to build a high-end aluminum manufacturing base, an ecological aluminum industry demonstration base, and a national aluminum product trading, distribution, and pricing center. It vigorously develops aluminum industry headquarters economy and encourages aluminum processing enterprises to develop towards high-end processing, aluminum components and accessories, and aluminum terminal products, constructing a full-chain development model and creating a new model for the transformation and upgrading of the aluminum processing industry, gradually transforming Gongyi City into China's "Aluminum Capital". Currently, the aluminum industrial cluster area in Huiguo Town, Gongyi City has over 200 aluminum processing enterprises and nearly 700 aluminum processing supporting enterprises. The annual main business income exceeds 100 billion yuan. There are 4 top ten enterprises in China's aluminum sheet and strip products. A relatively complete industrial chain covering aluminum processing to aluminum terminal products has been formed. The technical level of intermediate products such as aluminum sheet, strip, and foil produced has reached the international leading level, and it has become the largest aluminum sheet and strip foil production base in China.
