Copper and Copper Alloy Mill Products Service - Flat Rolled Products

The prospect is positive for copper sheet, strip and foil production in Developing Asia with most growth seen in China. A large expansion in Chinese capacity of high-precision copper plate and sheet is taking place with projects of up to 150,000 tonnes, while 122,000 tonnes of foil is expected to be produced in China by the end of 2008. Plant closures (Olin, Revere) signify the negative impact of the downturns in the residential construction and automotive markets in the US. Olin Metals is now owned by a private equity group, KPS Capital Partners through a newly formed company, Global Brass and Copper Inc.
