In May 2026, as the "dual carbon" strategy advanced into a critical stage of in-depth implementation, Guangdong Yonglong Aluminum Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yonglong Aluminum") delivered an impressive monthly performance by making precise moves in green manufacturing, technological innovation, and global expansion. This month, Yonglong Aluminum not only successfully broke through technical barriers in high-end industrial profiles but also achieved a double breakthrough in the system doors and windows and new energy sectors, becoming a benchmark for the transformation and upgrading of the aluminum profile industry in South China.
High-performance photovoltaic T-shaped aluminum profiles launched, seizing new heights in the new energy sector
On May 8, the successful production of an ultra-thin photovoltaic frame aluminum profile, measuring 12 meters in length and only 1.2 mm in wall thickness, at Yonglong Aluminum’s Sanshui base marked a major breakthrough in its "New Energy Special Project." To meet the extreme lightweight demands of next-generation heterojunction (HJT) photovoltaic modules, Yonglong’s R&D team overcame the challenge of "online quenching of high-strength aluminum alloys," increasing the tensile strength of T5-state 6063 aluminum alloy to over 260 MPa while reducing weight by 15%. This month, Yonglong Aluminum signed long-term supply agreements with global photovoltaic module giants JinkoSolar and Trina Solar. The monthly shipment volume of photovoltaic profiles alone exceeded 8,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 45%.
"Zero-carbon factory" certification imminent, leading the industry in recycled aluminum utilization
In the environmental protection field, Yonglong Aluminum achieved a milestone this month. On May 15, after an on-site audit by the international authoritative agency SGS, the carbon emission intensity of Yonglong Aluminum’s Sanshui production base was reduced to 0.8 tons of CO₂ per ton of aluminum, 40% lower than the industry average. Thanks to its "waste aluminum grade-preserving reduction system," which commenced operations earlier this year, the proportion of recycled aluminum used this month climbed to 52%, 20 percentage points higher than the industry average. The company’s general manager revealed at an internal meeting that it is expected to officially obtain "zero-carbon factory" certification in early June, making Yonglong the first aluminum profile enterprise in South China to receive this honor.
System doors and windows boom: Smart manufacturing base goes into operation, targeting the renovation market
On May 20, the smart manufacturing base of Guangdong Yonglong System Doors and Windows Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yonglong Aluminum, was officially put into operation. The base introduced the industry’s first "doors and windows smart manufacturing island," which uses an AI vision recognition system to automatically match profiles with hardware, reducing the delivery cycle of customized doors and windows from 15 days to 72 hours. In line with the newly implemented "Building Energy-Efficient Doors and Windows Technical Specifications" on May 1, Yonglong’s "quiet cabin-grade" system windows (with sound insulation up to 42 decibels) quickly gained market traction. This month, Yonglong’s system doors and windows achieved a 68% winning rate in bidding for renovation projects in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with monthly contracted sales exceeding 230 million yuan.
Digital upgrade: Dark factory lights up a new engine for "smart manufacturing"
Technological upgrading was the core focus for Yonglong Aluminum this month. On May 12, Yonglong Aluminum announced the official launch of its "Industrial Internet Platform 2.0," which achieved full-process digital monitoring from aluminum billet melting and casting to finished product packaging through the deployment of 5,000+ industrial sensors. Notably, its newly introduced "digital twin extrusion system" can simulate the metal flow of molds under high temperature and pressure in real time, extending mold life by 30% and increasing the yield rate to 99.2%. This month, Yonglong Aluminum was awarded the title of "Guangdong Provincial Intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration Enterprise" and received a special government subsidy of 12 million yuan.
Global expansion: Phase II of Vietnam base goes into operation, radiating the RCEP market
In terms of global expansion, Yonglong Aluminum also made significant moves this month. On May 25, the Phase II factory of Yonglong (Vietnam) Aluminum Co., Ltd. in Binh Duong Province was officially put into operation, adding an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons. Leveraging the tariff reduction benefits of the RCEP agreement, Yonglong Aluminum’s "tropical corrosion-resistant profiles," developed specifically for the hot and humid climate of Southeast Asia, quickly gained market acceptance. This month, exports to ASEAN countries increased by 52% year-on-year, with a single purchase of 12,000 tons of Yonglong’s anodized profiles for the "Landmark 88" curtain wall project, a landmark building in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Industry outlook: Transforming from "material supplier" to "solution provider"
Faced with the market fluctuation of the Yangtze River spot aluminum price soaring to 22,800 yuan/ton on May 22, Yonglong Aluminum effectively mitigated cost pressures through its "spot + futures" hedging strategy and long-term contract locking mechanism, maintaining a gross margin of over 15%. "The traditional 'selling aluminum materials' model has reached its limit. The future competition lies in who can provide customers with 'aluminum profiles + deep processing + system solutions'," emphasized Yonglong Aluminum’s chairman during the performance briefing on May 30. With the expected commissioning of a new 70,000-ton high-end aluminum profile production line by the end of the year, Yonglong Aluminum is accelerating its entry into high-end fields such as rail transit, new energy vehicles, and aerospace, laying a solid foundation for achieving the goal of breaking through 8 billion yuan in annual revenue in 2026.
