NEW YORK, NY: December 23, 2020: At the 7th International Conference on Magnesium in Shenyang China recently, Galaxy Trade and Technology signed two important agreements with leaders of the magnesium industry in China. The Institute of Metal Research, an acclaimed scientific research group, and Shaanxi Yulin Magnesium Group, the financial and commodities leader, agreed to extended strategic relationships with Galaxy — a magnesium production, marketing, finance and technology firm based in New York. Galaxy co-produced the highly successful Conference, attended by 800 representatives from nations around the world.
First, Galaxy signed a long term cooperation agreement with the Shaanxi Yulin Magnesium Group, which holds the largest reserve of magnesium in the world. The Magnesium Group provides Galaxy with a share of its substantial guaranteed supply of pure magnesium, ensuring unprecedented access to the valuable emerging metal. The first reserves have already been set aside and dedicated to Galaxy, to assure international customers of timely, cost-effective delivery. This alliance will help to bring about the first open, 24/7 bid-ask commodity trading platform specializing in magnesium, to be based in Geneva.
Second, Galaxy’s new Chief Scientific Advisor is Professor Yang Yuansheng. He provides top-level independent scientific and commercial advice to Galaxy, with regular updates on major technological developments in magnesium science and industrial applications. He also does testing of target alloys, performance advice on equivalent aluminum vs. magnesium alloys, and assessment of potential applications of magnesium. Professor Yang has an exceptional record as Research Group Leader with the Institute of Metal Research (IMR).
Together, the two agreements put Galaxy in the center of a powerful scientific and commercial alliance, positioning the company as the global choice for high-quality, high-volume, technically precise magnesium applications.
Signing for Galaxy were Chairman Michael North and Co-Chair Xiaofang Zhou, accompanied by Galaxy’s senior executive in China, Dong Yuming. For the Institute of Metal Research, the agreement was signed by Yang Yuansheng; signing for the Shaanxi Yulin Magnesium Group was Vice President Zhou Junhou.
Zhou Junhou, Director of Shaanxi Yulin Magnesium Group, said, “We are very pleased to join with Galaxy in bringing our green magnesium to global markets. We recognize the great potential synergy with Galaxy, so we have made a large commitment of pure magnesium and alloys to Galaxy. We have set aside a substantial share of our reserves for Galaxy, and will guarantee delivery of large shipments of magnesium each month, beginning immediately. This will make possible unprecedented market growth at competitive prices and lower supply chain risk.”
Doctor Yang Yuansheng of the Institute of Metals Research said, “This alliance with Galaxy will lead to improved research and production processes for special purpose alloys, better communications between academic research groups and business operations, and greater engagement between top academic groups in China and their colleagues worldwide. For over half-a-century, IMR has made strategic contributions to China’s economic growth and has achieved many technological breakthroughs in science and engineering, receiving over 400 awards. We are expanding this work now, with Galaxy.”
Michael North said: “I am very happy to sign these cooperative agreements and honored to work with our associates in Yulin and Shenyang. Their commitments address market concerns about open, efficient access to magnesium, the environmentally-responsible green metal of the future, deployed alongside expert scientific services. This represents another step in our long-term strategy: to join American and Chinese people in making significant and practical contributions to reduce global warming, forging new bonds of understanding, investment and scientific collaboration between our people, in concert with all nations of the world.”
