Yong Jie New Material – Transforming Global Aluminum Packaging: From Cans to Lids and Tabs New Supply from China, Ready to Enter Thailand’s Packaging Market | SO OK TRADING | June 25, 2026
In the fiercely competitive world of packaging, 5000 series aluminum (magnesium alloy) is emerging as the true hero. With its complete set of properties—corrosion resistance, lightweight, easy formability, and rust‑free durability—it has become the material of choice for cans, lids, and pull tabs we encounter every day.
Strengths That Global Brands Rely On
Can Body: Uses 3000 and 5000 series aluminum—thin, light, yet strong enough to withstand gas pressure and two‑piece forming. Can Ends & Lids: 3000 series for beverage cans, 5000 series for food cans.
3104 H19 → Beverage cans
5182 → Gold standard, strong and gas‑resistant
5042 H19 → Premium spec for Easy Open Ends, ultra‑hard temper
5148 H48 → Special alloy, thinner stamping yet still strong
Tabs (Stay‑On Tabs):
5052 / 5082 → Tough, flexible, resistant to breakage
5142 H32 → Ideal for lid components requiring high flexibility
Yong Jie – The New Power After Acquiring Arconic
$180 million mega deal → Acquisition of Arconic China
Production capacity surge: 485,000 → 735,000 tons/year
World‑class technology: inheriting machinery and metallurgy from Alcoa/Arconic
Advanced specifications: H19 and H48 tailored for Western markets and global brands
Global supply chain: contracts with Ford Motor and leading beverage brands
Thailand’s Packaging Market 2026 – Opportunities & Challenges
Metal Packaging: Rapid growth driven by functional drinks, craft sodas, and pet food
Plastic Packaging: Dominant but pressured by Europe’s PPWR regulations
Paper Packaging: Continues to grow but faces price dumping competition from China
Mega Trends in Packaging
Beyond the Box: Circular value chains and bio‑based packaging
AI & Smart Packaging: AI quality inspection + QR/NFC for traceability
Mono‑Material Engineering: Single‑material design for easier recycling
Aluminum in Thailand – The Fastest Rising Star
Market value: $1.91 billion (~68 billion THB)
Aluminum accounts for 69.03% of metal packaging
Major players, both Thai and international, accelerating investment (e.g., BGC + Toyo Seikan)
Hot Technologies
Sleek & Slim Can: Slim design for premium positioning
Lightweighting: Thinner yet strong → demand for H19/H48 specs
Closed‑Loop Recycling: Driving recycling rates above 70% and ASI standards
Yong Jie New Material is more than just an aluminum producer—from cans and lids to tabs. With world‑class technology and massive production capacity, Yong Jie’s entry is reshaping the Thai and ASEAN markets.

In 2026, the zinc market is no longer just about prices and supply-demand balance. Zinc is undergoing a major transformation: from a basic industrial metal used in construction and galvanizing, it is evolving into a strategic resource of the future — powering the global shift toward clean energy and advanced technologies.
Beyond its traditional role in protecting steel from corrosion, zinc is now at the center of innovation, from zinc-air batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) to renewable energy infrastructure such as solar panels and wind turbines. While the short-term challenge of oversupply looms large, the long-term opportunity is clear: zinc is becoming the backbone of a sustainable, low-carbon world.
