Profile

Tinplates are commonly known as "Ma Kou Tie" in Chinese, which is a transliteration from Macao as Macao is the major port for import of tin plates into China. Currently, all tin mill products in use are electrolytic tinplates (ETPs) and tin free steel (TFS) products, which are important raw materials for manufacturing cans.
