German engineering group Siemens said its VAI Metals Technologies UK division has received orders to supply two new aluminium cold-rolling mills to Chinese producer Chalco.
The two plants will be built at Chalco's Henan Fabrication and South West Aluminium sites.
The total order volume is around 40 million euros and the new cold-rolling mills are scheduled to start operation by mid-2009.
The contract also includes modernisation work on both subsidiaries' existing rolling capacity.
