The entity profiled is Weifang Longda Zinc Industry Co., Ltd. (Chinese name understood to be 潍坊龙达锌业有限公司), a zinc chemicals and secondary-zinc producer headquartered in Weifang, Shandong Province, People's Republic of China. The company's sales contact domain is wflongda.com (sales@wflongda.com, per SMM, July 2026). The input list classified the company as a "Public company"; this is not supported by any evidence found. No listing on the Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Hong Kong or overseas exchanges, nor on the NEEQ ("New Third Board"), was identified. The company should be treated as privately held.
Weifang Longda Zinc Industry is a Shandong-based, privately owned zinc chemicals group whose core competence is indirect-process (French-process) zinc oxide, produced by vaporising and oxidising metallic zinc. Its China plant has an annual capacity of 60,000 tonnes and supplies tyre and rubber, paints and coatings, and ceramics customers; the company also offers ISCC PLUS-certified recycled zinc oxide and participates in industry standard-setting. A sister site, Longda New Materials, holds permits to treat three categories of general industrial zinc-bearing solid waste and eleven categories of zinc-bearing hazardous waste, with 260,000 tonnes per year of disposal capacity, converting galvanizing ash, steel mill dust and similar residues into national-standard zinc ingot and zinc alloy. The group is now internationalising, with an Indonesian plant (60,000 tpy ZnO, commissioning scheduled October 2026) and a Vietnamese plant (20,000 tpy ingot/alloy operating; 30,000 tpy ZnO planned for Q1 2027), targeting 150,000 tpy ZnO and 100,000 tpy ingot/alloy group-wide.
What the company does
Longda is a mid-stream zinc processor. It does not mine zinc concentrate and does not operate a primary electrolytic smelter. Instead, its business sits in two adjacent parts of the zinc value chain:
-
Zinc chemicals (zinc oxide). The flagship activity is the production of zinc oxide by the indirect method, in which refined zinc metal (ingot) or high-grade zinc-bearing feed is melted and vaporised, and the zinc vapour is oxidised in air to form zinc oxide powder, which is then collected in bag filters. SMM's national reference price for this product is quoted on a "processing fee over SMM 1# zinc" basis against the GB/T 3185-2016 standard, and lists "LongDa" among the reference brands (SMM price page, December 2025). The company's China plant has 60,000 tpy capacity (SMM, July 2026). In a c. 2011 Asian Metal interview, the company was described as having the largest scale of indirect-method zinc oxide production in China at the time.
-
Secondary zinc recovery (resource recycling). Through "Longda New Materials", the group processes zinc-bearing industrial residues — hot-dip galvanizing slag, hot-dip silicon-aluminium-zinc slag and tyre pyrolysis slag (general industrial solid waste), and hot-dip galvanizing ash, steel mill ash (EAF/BOF dust), steel cord copper mud and other materials (hazardous waste) — into zinc ingots meeting national standards and zinc alloy products. Permitted disposal capacity is 260,000 tpy across three general-waste and eleven hazardous-waste categories (SMM, July 2026).
These two activities are vertically complementary: the recycling arm produces zinc metal, which is the principal raw material for indirect-process zinc oxide, giving the group a partial internal feedstock source and exposure to the "treatment fee" economics of hazardous waste disposal.
Business model and revenue model
| Revenue stream | Nature | Pricing mechanism (industry standard; company-specific terms not disclosed) |
|---|---|---|
| Indirect-process zinc oxide | Product sale (B2B, bulk) | Zinc ingot reference price (e.g., SMM 1# zinc) plus a processing fee/premium; SMM publishes the processing-fee-based reference |
| ISCC PLUS-certified recycled zinc oxide | Product sale (B2B, premium sustainability grade) | Not disclosed; typically priced at or above conventional grade owing to certification value to tyre makers |
| Zinc ingot (national standard) | Product sale | Linked to SHFE / SMM zinc spot prices |
| Zinc alloy (national standard) | Product sale | Zinc price plus alloying/processing premium |
| Hazardous and solid waste disposal | Service (gate/treatment fee) plus recovered metal value | Not disclosed; in China, hazardous waste generators typically pay licensed processors a disposal fee, with the processor also retaining metal value — economics depend on zinc grade of the feed |
There is no subscription or licensing revenue. The model is overwhelmingly product-based (estimated majority), with a service component from waste treatment; the exact mix is not publicly disclosed.
Value-chain position
Upstream: zinc ingot suppliers (domestic smelters) and zinc-bearing waste generators (hot-dip galvanizers, steel mills, steel cord producers, tyre pyrolysis operators).
Midstream (Longda): vaporisation/oxidation to ZnO; pyrometallurgical/hydrometallurgical recovery of zinc from residues (specific process route not disclosed); refining/alloying to ingot and alloy.
Downstream: rubber and tyre manufacturers (zinc oxide is a vulcanisation activator), paints and coatings producers, ceramics and glaze makers, and — per peer disclosures in the same Weifang cluster — zinc salts, electronics (varistors), glass fibre, feed and fertiliser users.
Customer types and end-markets
The company states its products are used widely in rubber tyres, paints and coatings, and ceramics, and that they serve both traditional industrial demand and high-end manufacturing standards (SMM, July 2026). Named customers are not publicly disclosed. The ISCC PLUS certification strongly suggests the company sells to multinational tyre makers with recycled/bio-circular content targets, but no specific customer has been confirmed.
Company's own description versus independent characterisation
Company's own description (paraphrased from the July 2026 SMM feature, the closest available equivalent to an annual report business description): Longda presents itself as a technically experienced producer of indirect-process zinc oxide and certified recycled zinc oxide, recognised for consistent quality, contributing to industry standards, and — through Longda New Materials — as a resource-recovery operator that turns zinc-bearing waste into national-standard zinc products, reducing pollution and reliance on primary ore. It describes its strategy as building four production sites in and outside China.
Independent characterisation: Longda is a long-established, regionally significant Chinese zinc oxide producer in the Weifang (Shandong) cluster that is attempting a strategic transition from a single-product, commodity-margin converter into an integrated, multi-country "circular zinc" platform. The combination of (a) hazardous waste permits, (b) ISCC PLUS certification and (c) Southeast Asian capacity is a coherent response to three structural pressures: Chinese environmental tightening, tyre-industry decarbonisation and recycled-content demand, and customer/trade-policy pressure to diversify supply away from China. Execution risk is high, given simultaneous greenfield projects in two countries.
Strategy
Stated strategic themes
Drawing on the company's July 2026 profile (the most authoritative available statement of strategy), Longda's strategic themes can be summarised (paraphrased) as follows:
-
Global capacity footprint. Build four production sites in and outside China, with overseas plants supporting global market expansion and "green capacity" abroad.
-
Scale leadership. Reach 150 ktpy zinc oxide and 100 ktpy zinc ingot/alloy capacity, plus a stable 260 ktpy waste disposal capability, to consolidate its position in zinc products and recycling.
-
Circular economy. Convert zinc-bearing industrial residues into national-standard zinc products, reducing pollution at source and reliance on primary ore.
-
Quality and standards. Maintain consistent quality for traditional and high-end manufacturing customers, and contribute to standard-setting in the zinc oxide industry.
-
Certified sustainability. Offer ISCC PLUS-certified recycled zinc oxide in China and Indonesia.

Analytical commentary on financial drivers (qualitative, based on disclosed operations and industry economics)
Although figures are unavailable, the economics of Longda's businesses are well understood and allow a structured view of what drives its financial performance.
Revenue is dominated by zinc price pass-through. Indirect-process zinc oxide contains roughly 80% zinc by mass, and Chinese market convention prices it as zinc ingot plus a processing fee. As a result, reported revenue for a ZnO producer moves closely with SHFE/SMM zinc prices, and year-on-year revenue changes are a poor guide to underlying performance. Longda's own former GM made the same point: zinc oxide price is driven by zinc ingot price (Asian Metal, c. 2011). Zinc prices in China were elevated in mid-2026 (Tianjin #0 ingot c. CNY 25,000/t in July 2026, with SMM commentary that downstream users found high prices hard to bear), which would inflate nominal revenue in FY2026 while potentially squeezing volumes.
Gross profit is driven by the processing fee and volume. The processing spread over metal is the true value-add and is sensitive to (a) energy costs (vaporising zinc is energy-intensive — natural gas, coal-gas or electricity), (b) capacity utilisation, and (c) competitive intensity in the highly fragmented Chinese ZnO market. Management in 2011 described low entry barriers and proliferation of small "zinc oxide workshops" as a structural issue; the 2018 commentary from the Orlon interview noted that environmental inspections closed many small producers and restored profitability. This implies margin cycles that track environmental enforcement intensity.
The recycling arm has a different, potentially higher-margin profile. Hazardous waste treatment in China typically generates income from two sources: disposal fees paid by waste generators and the value of recovered zinc. When zinc prices are high, recovered metal value rises; when environmental enforcement tightens, disposal fees rise. Licensed hazardous waste capacity (11 categories, 260 ktpy) is a scarce, permit-gated asset. If Longda New Materials is operating at meaningful utilisation, it could be the group's largest profit contributor despite being less visible.
Capex is in a peak phase. Two simultaneous greenfield builds (Indonesia: 60 ktpy ZnO plus ingot/alloy lines; Vietnam: 20 ktpy ingot/alloy plus 30 ktpy ZnO) imply elevated capital expenditure in FY2025–FY2027 and likely negative free cash flow during construction, with funding from bank debt, shareholder capital or operating cash. The financing structure is not disclosed.
Working capital is metal-heavy. Inventory of zinc ingot, work-in-progress and finished ZnO is valued at metal prices; rising zinc prices increase working capital requirements, and receivables from large tyre customers may carry extended terms.

Analyst Conclusions
Management guidance
The only forward-looking statements are operational: Indonesian ZnO commissioning and trial operation in October 2026; Vietnam Phase 2 ZnO (30 ktpy) in Q1 2027; and, once all four sites are fully operating, group capacity of 150 ktpy ZnO, 100 ktpy zinc ingot/alloy and 260 ktpy waste disposal (SMM, July 2026). No revenue, margin or profit guidance exists. Consensus growth expectations: none (no coverage).
Bull case
-
Capacity-led volume step-up. Group ZnO capacity rises 2.5x (60 to 150 ktpy) by 2027, with overseas capacity positioned close to Southeast Asian tyre clusters; successful ramp-up would materially increase scale and customer reach.
-
Circular-zinc margin capture. The 260 ktpy hazardous/general waste platform earns disposal fees and recovers zinc at a time of tight primary ore supply (SMM, 2026), potentially providing lower-cost feed and a structurally higher-margin profit pool than pure ZnO conversion.
-
Premium sustainable products. ISCC PLUS recycled ZnO, offered from both China and Indonesia, aligns with tyre OEM recycled-content requirements and could command premiums and long-term supply contracts.
Bear case
-
Execution and funding strain. Two concurrent greenfields in unfamiliar jurisdictions, with undisclosed financing, could lead to delays, cost overruns and balance sheet stress; the October 2026 Indonesian milestone remains unconfirmed.
-
Commodity squeeze. Elevated zinc prices (c. CNY 25,000/t in mid-2026) are already hurting downstream demand; processing spreads in a fragmented ZnO market may compress as new capacity (including Longda's own) comes on stream.
-
Competitive and regulatory pressure. A larger local peer (100 ktpy), global incumbents and recyclers, and the ever-present risk of environmental enforcement affecting hazardous waste permits could erode the company's position.

Concluding analyst verdict
Weifang Longda Zinc Industry is best understood as a seasoned, mid-sized Chinese zinc oxide converter in the midst of an ambitious transformation into a multinational circular-zinc platform. Its credentials are real: an indirect-process ZnO operation running since 2010 that was once described as China's largest by scale; a brand recognised in SMM's national price assessment; ISCC PLUS certification; and, most strategically, a recycling subsidiary permitted to process eleven categories of zinc-bearing hazardous waste with 260,000 tonnes per year of capacity. Those permits are hard to replicate and give Longda a feedstock and service-income dimension that most pure ZnO converters lack.
The strategy is coherent. Tyre makers want certified recycled content and diversified, non-China supply; primary zinc ore is tight; Chinese policy under the 15th Five-Year Plan favours circular and low-carbon industry. Longda's Indonesian and Vietnamese plants, if delivered, would lift group ZnO capacity from 60,000 to 150,000 tonnes and place 60% of it outside China, close to Southeast Asian tyre clusters.
The central problem for any investor, lender or counterparty is opacity. There are no public financial statements, no disclosed ownership structure, no ESG data and no credit rating, and the relationship with neighbouring producer Weifang Aolong (Orlon), led by Longda's former general manager, is unclear. Execution risk is also unusually concentrated: the Indonesian commissioning milestone falls this month and remains unconfirmed, and Vietnam Phase 2 follows within months.
Verdict: Longda is a credible operator with a strategically well-founded growth plan, but it currently cannot be assessed on financial merit.
