Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industries Group announced Vietnam's first aluminum ingot product
On July 26, 2026, Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industry Group (TKV) officially announced the successful production of the first aluminum ingot product at Dak Nong Aluminum Electrolysis Factory, Nhan Co Industrial Park. This event marks an important historical milestone, affirming Vietnam's position on the world metallurgical industry map and demonstrating achievements in building a closed value chain from bauxite to aluminum metal.
Historical event - The beginning of Vietnam's aluminum industry
Successful production of the first batch of aluminum ingots is not only a technical achievement but also a testament to the autonomous capacity of Vietnamese industry in the field of high-end non-ferrous metallurgy. Aluminum ingot products meet international standards, opening up opportunities for export and import substitution, contributing to the sustainable development of the national economy.
According to TKV leaders, completing the closed value chain from bauxite mining to aluminum metal production is a strategic goal that was set many years ago. This event marks an important turning point in the process of implementing that strategy, especially in the resource-rich Central Highlands.
Dak Nong Aluminum Electrolysis Factory - The heart of Vietnam's aluminum industry
Dak Nong Aluminum Electrolysis Factory was built in Nhan Co Industrial Park, Dak Nong province with a design capacity of 300,000 tons/year of aluminum ingots. The factory applies the world's most advanced electrolysis technology, is highly automated and environmentally friendly.
Modern aluminum electrolysis technology allows reducing power consumption, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and optimizing the production process. The factory is equipped with a standard waste treatment system, ensuring environmental protection during operation.
| Specifications | Value |
|---|---|
| Capacity scale | 300,000 tons/year |
| Electrolysis technology | The most advanced money in the world |
| Factory area | 150 hectares |
| Number of electrolysis furnaces | 300 furnaces |
Closed value chain - TKV's strategic vision
TKV Group is building a closed value chain from bauxite exploitation, alumina production to aluminum metal electrolysis. This value chain not only creates competitive advantages but also ensures the sustainable development of Vietnam's metallurgical industry.
In particular, TKV plays a core role in providing high quality aluminium raw materials for Tran Hong Quan Metallurgy Company Limited - the unit implementing the aluminum electrolysis project in Dak Nong. This coordination forms a closely linked system, optimizing production efficiency and developing supporting industries.
Vision and development strategy
The successful production of the first aluminum ingots is an important stepping stone for Vietnam's aluminum industry development strategy. TKV aims that by 2030, Vietnam will become one of the region's major aluminum production centers, with an output of 1 million tons/year.
In addition, TKV is focusing on researching and developing value-added aluminum products such as aluminum alloys, aluminum sheets, aluminum profiles... to improve production value and expand markets both domestically and internationally.
Socio-economic significance
The project not only brings great economic significance but also creates many social values. The construction of the factory has created thousands of jobs for local people, contributing to socio-economic development in Dak Nong province and the Central Highlands region.
In addition, the project also promotes the development of transportation, energy and service infrastructure in the region, creating conditions for other industries to develop, forming concentrated industrial parks and new economic zones.
Conclude
The successful production of Vietnam's first aluminum ingot product marks an important step forward in the country's industrialization and modernization process. With strategic vision and implementation capacity, TKV is affirming its pioneering position in building a sustainable metallurgical industry, contributing to the country's socio-economic development.
"Made in Vietnam" aluminum ingot products are not only the pride of TKV but also a testament to Vietnam's competitiveness in the international market, opening up broad development prospects for the metallurgical industry in the future.
