The Sigma Group, founded in 1978, primarily focuses on secondary aluminum smelting and metal scrap trading.Sigma has sizeable plants in Taiwan (Kaohsiung) and China (Shanghai, Zhangzhou, Chongqing, Rizhao, and Changchun), with over 1600 employees and annual turnover of 8.2 billion RMB. The Sigma Group plays a vital role in the global aluminum recycling ecosystem, processing scrap metal from sources such as shredded autos to produce specification aluminum alloys. The finished products are sold to manufacturers of auto and motorcycle parts, home appliances, and other industrial and commercial products. We have been the largest recycled aluminum producer in China since domestic operations began in 1993.

    The first Sigma Group company, Sigma International, Inc., located in Florida, remains the headquarters of Sigma? seafood business. The second company in the Sigma Group, Sigma Brothers, Inc., was founded in 1981 in Kaohsiung, and is presently the headquarters of our metals operation. Throughout the years, smelting of secondary aluminum alloy ingots and non-ferrous scrap metal trading has become the main focus for the Sigma Group.

    The Sigma Group now operates six smelting plants. The Kaohsiung aluminum alloy smelting plant was established in 1987, with monthly capacity of 6,000 mt. The Shanghai smelting plant was established in 1993, moved to a larger site in 2005, and currently operates with a monthly capacity of 25,000 mt of aluminum alloy ingots, and 3,600 mt of zinc alloy ingots. The Zhangzhou plant was established through a buyout of Tsann Kuen's smelting plant, and has a monthly capacity of 15,000 mt. The Chongqing plant has a monthly capacity of 10,000 mt, the Rizhao plant 20,000 mt, and the Changchun plant 6,500 mt.

We own three LME-registered brands of aluminum alloy ingots: "SBI" for Kaohsiung,"SIGMA" for Shanghai, and"ZSM" for Zhangzhou. We have adopted ISO9001, ISO14001, OSHA18001, and TS16949 standards as the guidelines for our entire operation, and were also awarded the honorary title of "Model Enterprise for the Circular Economy" by China's National Development and Reform Commission. We are the largest secondary aluminum alloy smelter in the Greater China Region, and aspire to be the largest secondary aluminum alloy smelter in the world.
