Business Description

Lihua International, Inc is a Delaware Corporation. The Company develops, designs, manufactures, markets and distributes low cost, high quality refined copper products including copper anode, copper rod, pure superfine copper wire, and copper-clad aluminum superfine wire (CCA), which is an alternative to pure superfine copper wire. It also uses recycled scrap copper as a raw material to produce refined copper products including copper anode and copper rod. Copper anode is the raw material for copper cathode, which is the fundamental building block for most pure copper products. It currently uses copper rod produced internally for the production of pure copper superfine wire. Primarily because of its high electrical conductivity, pure copper wire is used in many components in a wide variety of motorized and electrical appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves and automobiles. In most instances, its CCA wire and refined copper rod and wire products are an excellent, less costly substitute for pure copper cable and wire products. The Company sells copper anode primarily to a few copper conglomerates in China. In the first quarter of 2009, it began production of copper rod from recycled scrap copper. The copper rod it produces meets the national purity standard for pure copper cable and wire. In August of 2010, it began production and sales of copper anode, another refined copper product produced from recycled scrap copper, and increased its refined copper smelting capacity to 50,000 tons per annum. The Company's copper recycling pre-treatment phase utilizes its proprietary cleaning technology with respect to which it has applied for an invention patent. The process involves manually or mechanically sorting, stripping, shredding and magnetically separating the scrap copper. The scrap copper is then compacted and pre-treated with chemicals. Following the pre-treatment phase, the metal is smelted and fire refined in a furnace. The furnace refining process commences with loading the furnace with the pre-treated metal, smelting it, and then refining and reducing it. The Company's fine and superfine wire drawing process utilizes either its recycled copper rod or CCA and involves drawing the wire to the desired final diameter. Whether using recycled copper rod or CCA, the drawing process entails multiple steps, including heat treating, annealing, baking, cooling, quenching and spooling, as may be necessary to achieve the desired wire diameter and other customer specifications. The Company's products consist of high purity copper products refined from scrap and bi-metallic copper products. An anode is an electrode through which electric current flows into a polarized electrical device. Copper anode is the raw material for the production of copper cathode, which is the fundamental building block of most of the pure copper products. The copper anode it produces is in a very heavy, dull looking copper pallet form. In March 2009, it launched t
