　　Jiaozuo City has a good foundation in the aluminum processing industry. China Aluminum Zhongzhou Branch is a well-known alumina production enterprise in the region, and its downstream electrolytic aluminum enterprise is Jiaozuo Wanfang Aluminum Industry Co., Ltd., a listed company. In Xiuwu, adjacent to Wanfang Aluminum Industry, there are more than ten aluminum plate, strip, foil, aluminum rod, and aluminum rod production and processing enterprises, as well as some aluminum profile processing enterprises. Aluminum processing is one of the important pillar industries in the county.
