Asian Metal visits Yulin Magnesium
On the afternoon of 25 December, 2024, Ms. Daphne Zhang, the Consultant & Senior Product Manager of Asian Metal, visited Shaanxi Yulin Magnesium (Group) Co., Ltd. and held in-depth discussions with Mr. Daniel Zhu, the Vice General Manager, and Mr. Peter Yang, the Sales Director of the company, regarding the continued low-price fluctuations of magnesium products in 2024, the lack of confidence of production enterprises and the pressure of operation, and the hesitation of downstream users. Both sides agreed that challenges always coexist with opportunities. In the coming 2025, as the price gap between magnesium and aluminum widens, the price advantage of magnesium products will become more prominent. At the same time, with the advantages of high performance, lightweight, low carbon and environmental protection of downstream magnesium die-casting products, the promotion of magnesium alloy die-casting products in 2025 will bring a new round of application opportunities for magnesium metal.
