- On the afternoon of December 25th, 2025, Ms. Daphne Zhang, Consultant & Senior Product Manager of Magnesium Market at Asian Metal, visited Yulin Tianlong Magnesium Co., Ltd. She engaged in in-depth discussions with Deputy Chairman Mr. Jie Chen and Sales Director Mr. Li Yang regarding industrial extension. The magnesium industry in Shaanxi is currently at a historic strategic inflection point. Leveraging significant resource and energy cost advantages, Shaanxi-based magnesium plants have long established their position as a global primary magnesium supply base. However, in the face of structural changes in downstream applications and the redistribution of industry value, the production of magnesium ingots alone is no longer sufficient to support sustainable development. Extending the industrial chain from magnesium ingots to magnesium alloys represents a systemic value leap critical to survival and upgrading.
- Mr. Jie Chen candidly stated that the extension from magnesium ingots to magnesium alloys by Shaanxi-based magnesium plants is a strategic necessity—a process of "utilizing cost advantages as the foundation, seizing the opportunity of market demand, and achieving a leap in the value chain." The magnesium industry in 2026 will witness a grand opening marked by the simultaneous resonance of "demand explosion, technological breakthroughs, and supply optimization." An era of "magnesium" characterized by lighter weight, greater strength, enhanced sustainability, and broader applications is accelerating toward us.
- Established in 2000, Yulin Tianlong Magnesium Co., Ltd. is a modern circular economy demonstration enterprise located in the core area of the National Energy Heavy Chemical Industry Base in Fugu County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. As one of the pioneers in the regional magnesium industry chain, Tianlong has dedicated over two decades to the magnesium-based field. The company has established a four-industry linkage system centered on "semi-coke co-production, ferrosilicon support, magnesium smelting, and magnesium alloy deep processing." Its production capacity includes 500,000 tons/year of environmentally friendly semi-coke, 25,000 tons/year of ferrosilicon (currently, three 45,000 KVA intelligent ferrosilicon furnaces have been built in accordance with national industrial policies), and 42,500 tons/year of high-purity magnesium ingots and magnesium alloys. The company's total assets amount to 500 million yuan, with an annual output value exceeding 1 billion yuan. Currently, the company employs 770 staff, including 650 production workers and over 120 logistics personnel. It has more than 50 engineers and full-time safety and environmental technicians registered nationally or certified by the company. Social insurance coverage has reached 50%, and the company is making every effort to advance its full-coverage social insurance plan.
- Tianlong Magnesium has long followed Asian Metal and uses its price information as a benchmark for procurement and sales, highly valuing its timely, rigorous, and objective reporting. The company recognizes the Asian Metal Magnesium Summits and will actively participate in the 14th Magnesium Summit to be held by Asian Metal in Chengdu, China on April 16-17th, 2026.
