Event

On 12 January 2014, the export ban policy in Indonesia shook global nickel industry. China ferronickel smelters and stainless steel companies face the impact of material shortage and price rise. Although some of the companies have gained a lot during the nickel price surged since April, most smelters are facing the difficult choice of whether switch to other products. Is there other good nickel source to make up the huge material supply gap? Meanwhile, several China companies is arranging or launching overseas smelting plants construction. Will it work? How to avoid detours?
