1 May 2026

Henan Mingtai Al. Industrial Co., Ltd., has achieved ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023) for manufacturing operations including aluminium casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, precision finishing, and packaging processes, located in the Development Zone of Huiguo Town, Gongyi City, Henan Province, China.

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Henan Mingtai Al. Industrial Co., Ltd. has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023). The facility manufactures a range of aluminium sheet, strip, and foil products across alloy series 1 to 8, primarily serving the automotive sector. Production activities include melting, casting, hot rolling, and cold rolling. Annual production capacities include 700,000 tonnes from melting and casting lines, 600,000 tonnes from hot tandem rolling, 90,000 tonnes from casting and rolling lines, and 100,000 tonnes from cold rolling operations.

The ASI Certification program was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process and is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The ASI Performance Standard V3 and ASI CoC Standard V2 were launched in May 2022 following a multi-year revision process. The ASI Performance Standard V3 defines 11 principles and 62 criteria under three sustainability pillars – Environment, Social, and Governance – with the aim to address pressing sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain, such as biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples rights, circularity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The 2022 Standards and related documents underwent a minor update in 2023, accounting for editorial changes, correction of minor errors and for general clarification, culminating in the release of Performance Standard V3.1 (2023) and Chain of Custody Standard V2.1 (2023).
