The development history of Chinese Aluminum Composite Panel ( ACP ) industry

Metal composite material, made in China for 20 years


Part 1 


1.1 Revisiting memories-feelings, moved, and grateful

Recalling the long and arduous years of the past, the initial development of Metal Composite decorative Materials can be traced back to the 1980s. The product of Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) began to be known to us. In the 1990s, it took root and blossomed in China . The Aluminum Composite Material branch was established . my country's aluminum-plastic industry and related enterprises in the industrial chain have their own homes and have embarked on a glorious and dreamy entrepreneurial journey . 

In the past 20 years, China's Metal Composite decorative Materials industry has started from scratch and has made great strides, becoming the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of metal composite decorative materials. This "big family" is constantly adding more imports, and a number of companies with world-leading scale in production capacity, production equipment, process technology, product variety and quality have emerged, and the number of employees has reached hundreds of thousands. In 1998 and 2008, it was during this decade of rapid development that the industry grew at an average annual rate of more than 20%, becoming a new economic growth point for my country's national economy in the field of building materials.

While meeting the needs of the domestic market, my country's metal composite decorative materials have also achieved a substantial increase from import to export. Take the Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) as an example. In 2008, the products have been exported to 103 countries and regions, including exported to developed countries in the world. At the beginning of the decade, it relied on imports, and at the end of the last century it was self-produced and sold, and then at the beginning of this century there was a leap forward in large-scale exports. China's aluminum-plastic composite panels have accounted for more than 90% of the world's import and export trade volume. The industry's annual output value exceeds 20 billion RMB , and the product quality has reached the international advanced level.

The industry has developed for 20 years and the association has been established for 15 years. When sorting out the written materials in the industry over the years, we have seen familiar names one after another, some are signed articles, and some are familiar people and things mentioned in the articles. Words are magical. They can evoke memories and trigger feelings. When I saw the rise, I used my mobile phone to take a screenshot and sent it to the person mentioned in the article, joking, "Do you remember this article? Don't remember, I will send it to you, and keep it. This is all the memory of youth." . Believe that, while recalling our memories, we will feel the time to escape, and sigh the past like smoke. But until today, the people who used to be are still struggling, are still practicing and paying for the reform, innovation and development of the aluminum-plastic industry, and continue to move forward for the previous ideals.
