It is reported that Sinosteel Jilin Ferroalloys Corporation is planning to commission its new 150 000 tonnes per year manganese alloys plant in October 2008.

Sinosteel Jilin produced 52,265 tonnes of manganese alloys and 27,899 tonnes ferrochrome in 2007. It expects to complete takeover of two Chinese ferroalloy producers by the end of 2008 as part of its goal to have 1 million tonnes per year ferroalloy capacity in the next two years.
