End of Summit

Asian Metal's leverage in the metal industry continues to grow in strength in disseminating information to stakeholders, and this was aptly demonstrated during its maiden Cadmium Forum that held at Xinxiang International Hotel, Henan, from Mar 27-29, 2008.

The forum, among others, brought together more than 110 delegates from 80 companies who exchanged their ideas and experiences on opportunities and challenges being posed in the cadmium industry.

Mr. Liu Yanlong, Secretary General, China Industrial Association of Power Sources shared his views and opinions on the future development of Ni-Cd battery.

Hot discussion was focused on the future of Ni-Cd battery and Zn-Cd alloy, Chinnese export tariff, environmental problems, price differences between Chinese market and the international market. It is generally accepted that the demand of cadmium will reduce over time.

Asian Metal thanks all the delegates, companies and agencies who graced and supported the convening of the World Cadmium Forum 2008, and we are confident that we would hold a better and more result-oriented Cadmium Forum in the coming year, with much higher leverage as more players are using Asian Metal Prices as a major reference for their business.
