2 2nd Asian Bauxite& Alumina Conference October 2012 Marina Mandarin, Singapore Benefits of attending: Whilst China continues to be the major driver for bauxite and alumina in the region, the industry faces continuing new challenges and changing dynamics in supply and demand of the raw materials. The shift towards China becoming a net importer of bauxite is becoming greater as it seeks to secure and source bauxite from the region and beyond. At the same time the oversupply of alumina has made it ever more imperative for refineries in the region to be more efficient and lower costs. The bustling business hub of Singapore will once more play host to the premier international gathering of the bauxite and alumina industry in the Asian region. The conference provides a unique forum for key players to discuss and gain insight into all the latest developments in the industry, covering both metallurgical and non metallurgical sectors. This is the perfect opportunity to meet with your potential customers and suppliers and strengthen your business for the year ahead.
