Beijing, China, February 19, 2008 - ABB will provide a complete set of electrical equipment for a cold rolling mill project at Yunnan Aluminum Co., Ltd (Yunnan Aluminum). As part of a joint project with SMS DEMAG Co., ABB will provide an advanced automation solution based on System 800xA to help expand operations and increase Yunnan Aluminum’s processing capacity by 80 percent.

北京2月19日消息——ABB将为云南铝业有限公司（云南铝业）的一个冷连轧机项目提供一整套的电气设备。作为与SMS DEMAG公司联合项目的一部分，ABB将提供一套基于System 800xA系统的高端自动化解决方案，帮助云南铝业扩大运营，增加80%的处理能力。

Yunnan Aluminum is the largest electricity consumer on the Yunnan Power Grid. In recent years it has invested around RMB3.7 billion Yuan ($514 million) in energy-saving initiatives to bring its consumption down to 13,600 kilowatt hours (kWh) per ton aluminum—more than 1,000 kWh per ton, or seven percent less than the national average for aluminum processing. The company recently installed the world’s most advanced continuous casting and rolling technology for aluminum processing, which uses SMS DEMAG Co. and ABB technologies, to achieve energy savings of 26 percent.

云南铝业是云南电网最大的用电户。最近几年，其在能源节约措施方面投资了大约3.7亿人民币（5140万美元），使其每吨铝的耗电量降低到1万3千6百千瓦时，每吨降低了一千多千瓦时，较全国平均铝处理水平低了七个多百分点。该公司最近为铝处理安装了世界上最先进的连铸连轧技术，其中使用了MS DEMAG 公司和ABB的技术，可以实现节约26%的用电量。

“This order strengthens ABB’s position as the leading supplier of electrical and automation systems to the steel and non-ferrous metal industry,” said Tobias Becker, Head of the Process Automation Division of ABB China and North Asia. “Our tailored solutions offer significant energy savings, reducing cost and environmental impact.”

ABB过程自动化部中国和北亚主管Tobias Becker表示：“这项订单加强了ABB作为钢铁和非铁金属加工业电气和自动化系统的领先供应商地位。我们个性化的解决方案带来了显著的能源节省，降低了成本和对环境的不良影响。”

ABB will supply Yunnan Aluminum with a full set of electrical and automation equipment, including the main motors and drives, System 800xA Extended Automation, and engineering and commissioning work for the project. This is the fourth order in China that ABB has won with SMS DEMAG. ABB has also provided power and automation solutions for the largest aluminum processing plant in Europe, run by Hydro Aluminum, helping to increase capacity by 15 percent and energy efficiency by 25 percent.

ABB将为云南铝业提供全套电气及自动化设备，包括主要的电机和驱动，System 800xA Extended Automation系统，以及项目的施工和调试工作。这是ABB和SMS DEMAG公司在中国共同夺得的第四份订单。ABB还为由Hydro运营的欧洲最大的铝加工厂提供了电力和自动化解决方案，帮助客户提升了15%的产量以及节省25%的能源效率。
