The Sigma Group – Global Innovator in the Secondary Aluminum Industry

🔥   Strategic Layout • Global Vision

The Sigma Group, founded in 1978, primarily focuses on secondary aluminum smelting, zinc alloy smelting, and metal scrap trading. The Sigma Group plays a vital role in the global aluminum recycling ecosystem, processing scrap metal from sources such as end-of-life vehicles to produce hundreds of different specifications of aluminum alloys through leading edge smelting processes. The finished products are sold to manufacturers of automotive and motorcycle parts, home appliances, and other industrial and commercial products. With over 48 years of experience and development, Sigma now spans across three countries:

  • 9 Smelting Plants:Taiwan (Kaohsiung), and China (Zhejiang, Chongqing Yongchuan, Chongqing Qijiang, Rizhao, Chengdu, Baotou, Binzhou, and Gongyi).
  • Global Trade Network:Trading offices in USA (New York) and Japan (Tokyo) service the international markets while trading offices in China (Dongguan, Zhangzhou, and Changchun) develop specific domestic regions.

Recognized as one of China’s first batch to receive "Model Enterprise for the Circular Economy" from China's National Development and Reform Commission and among the first to be approved by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for "Regulations on the Processing and Utilization of Scrap Copper and Aluminum". The company has also been awarded numerous honors including "Green Factory," "High-Tech Enterprise," "Specialized and Innovative Enterprise," and "Healthy Enterprise.”

🌿   Industrial Ecology • Green Smart Manufacturing

Sigma Aluminum Auto Parts Industrial Park

  • Billion Dollar Nexus:A 300,000 ton secondary aluminum production capacity is already in operation. Plans are underway to introduce 20 aluminum alloy die-casting and machining companies to the manufacturing hub, synergistically and collectively creating over 10 billion RMB worth of aluminum auto parts annually.
  • Streamlined Production System:The direct supply of molten aluminum for die-casting will allow businesses to greatly reduce costs and increase efficiency.
  • Government Partnership:The Yongchuan District government is responsible for policy support and creating a favorable business environment, while Sigma is responsible for park construction, investment attraction, and operation. The completed factories are available for rent or purchase, with Sigma ensuring all necessary conditions are met for incoming businesses, offering a seamless and hassle-free integration experience!

Environmental Technology Breakthrough

From 2017 to present, Sigma has established 3 Environmental Technology companies in Chongqing, Baotou, and Gongyi; their goal to study and produce high value-added environmentally friendly products from aluminum dross, and thus far has already successfully created new daily use materials.

Raw Material Supply Stability and Import Pre-Treatment Innovation

To ensure a stable and reliable supply of raw materials, and with strong support from the Yongchuan District Government, the Sigma Group has been actively advancing policies related to the import of recycled aluminum. As a key material for new energy vehicle components, recycled aluminum plays a vital role in the development of Chongqing’s industrial ecosystem, making supply stability especially critical. In February 2026, China’s first pilot program for optimized inspection and supervision of river-sea intermodal recycled aluminum imports was successfully launched at the Chongqing Yongchuan plant. This river-sea intermodal transport model helps reduce raw material costs while strengthening the overall security of aluminum supply. To ensure imported materials meet regulatory and quality requirements, the Sigma Group has established a pre-treatment process carried out before port clearance, including unpacking, sorting, magnetic separation, paint removal, cooling, and baling, supported by proprietary, purpose-built equipment developed in-house. Using precise temperature-controlled delacquering technology, organic impurities are efficiently removed without degrading the material, improving both quality and recovery rates while ensuring non-compliant materials are eliminated at the source.

Mission Statement

The Sigma Group will always diligently adhere to its principles of honesty and integrity, conservation, and environmental protection so that it may achieve its goal - RECYCLING FOR A BETTER TOMORROW, continuously defining new standards for green industry and forging a better tomorrow.
