Production Capacity
SDM has one production line consists of melting furnace, alloying furnace and continuous
casting system. Presently, SDM is capable to manufacture 600 tons/month of aluminum
ingots. We are planning to increase the capacity to 1600 tons/month by mid 2011 where
additional of one larger production line will be installed in SDM new plant located at Meru
Industrial Park.

We can produce specialty standards to meet customer’s own composition targets in small
batch size of 1 ton. SDM also works with international well known die casting companies
in designing & supplying specialty specification of chemical composition in development
of prototype products, if suitable standards do not exist.

ISO 9001 : 2008, re-certification on 27 May

2010 by DQS Certification Body

SDM, an ISO9001 certified company is

committed and always strive to maximize
customer’s satisfaction level at every
optimized cost.

We import only high grade aluminum tense of mainly Japanese made engine and
automotive scraps from international sources which either directly or in-directly
related to the members of SDM Group. We are physically presence at the
purchasing sources to inspect the scraps before acceptance, hence ensure the
quality of input scrap aluminum.

Once the input materials arrive SDM plant, stringent inspections are conducted from
weighing, segregation and pre-smelting activities, before the acceptance for melting
process .

Melting, alloying and casting processes are not only science & technology but also an
art which required skilled & experienced staff members to perform the job. To further
enhance the quality assurance, modern analyzing equipment are used to test on
chemical composition of each melt batch and porosity check of gas content. Grain
size, physical strength and dross content are determined at defined intervals.

Ingots meeting minimum specifications

have high probability of non-compliance
if instrument & sampling errors are take
into consideration.

SDM ingots are not only meeting

the requirements of composition
specification but are controlled well
above the minimum requirement of
specification.

SDM is always paying careful attention to it’s manufacturing

processes to ensure our customers receive only quality ingots.

Cost Competitiveness

Aluminum ingot is an international priced and traded commodity. Ingot trading in

physical market is guided by the prices of London Metal Exchange, LME. This is
also applied to the trading of aluminum scrap in the world market. However, due
to local competitiveness and demand, the scrap prices are slightly varied in
different locations for any given particular time period.

In response to increasingly customer needs in price competitiveness of

ingots, we aim to source the lowest price possible of the input scrap
aluminum. To that end, we are gathering and concentrating the capabilities
of SDM Group member companies of their worldwide scrap purchasing
networking and warehouses, to only purchase the aluminum scrap at the
location where the price is the lowest, at the time of purchase.

Apart from sourcing outside the Group, SDM smelting has regular supply of
scrap aluminum internally. Presently, more than 50% of aluminum scraps
are supplied SDM by Group’s End of Live Vehicle (ELV) Business Unit
where we generate aluminum tense from ELV recycling activities
