AZ China Limited was established in 2006 and focuses on delivering China Intelligence . Our diverse team is comprised of consulting and industry experts with over 30 years of experience. Although we have a strong aluminium background, we also have expertise in a broad range of sectors, with skills ranging from metallurgical engineering to purchasing.

Mr. Paul Adkins is currently the Managing Director of AZ China Ltd. and has many years of experience in sourcing, supply chain and operations. He previously worked for Alcan and Alcoa, Philips, and Compaq in Australia. During that time, he spent many years based in Sydney but trying to source low cost components from China and elsewhere. At the end of 2004, Alcan appointed him to set up its Global Sourcing office in Beijing. Upon completion of that project, he has elected to stay in Beijing, where he can assist other Australian and Western manufacturers to successfully source from China and has an MBA from University of Newcastle in Australia and frequently speaks at industry-related conferences.

Services

In the aluminium raw materials sector, we support our clients through targeted, in-depth market analysis of the primary aluminium, carbon and black products markets. We publish reports and analyses on all the various raw materials, as well as looking at broader subjects such as how China’s economy might affect the sector, and how Chinese government policy impacts the industry. We are the only analysts who write on the Chinese market from inside China yet with a Western, smelter point of view.

In addition to our regular industry reports, we provide a wide range of consulting services. We specialize in helping Western companies who are interested in entering the Chinese market. We are also able to assist anyone who wishes to purchase raw materials from this dynamic yet complex market. We also provide specialist-sourcing advice to manufacturers and secondary industry purchasing managers who are looking for reliable, high-quality Chinese suppliers.

Customization

AZ China Limited offers specifically tailored advice to each individual client. Through our headquarters in Hong Kong and Beijing, we can guarantee complete assistance and at the same time prevent all the local bureaucratic and cultural obstacles that make China such a difficult and opaque market.
