IMAX currently has nearly 150 theatres open in China and a commitment for up to 260 additional theatres across the region. IMAX has developed relationships with China’s leading studios and exhibitors, and the recent WTO agreement— which brings 14 additional IMAX or 3D films to China annually beyond the current quota of 20 foreign films— benefits Chinese theatergoers and the American film industry alike.  

Alcoa is the largest foreign investor in the Chinese aluminum industry, with facilities in Beijing, Shanghai and Suzhou creating solutions for the packaging, commercial transportation, consumer electronics, industrial products, automotive and aerospace markets. Alcoa recently earned the “Top Green Company in China” and “Multinational Companies with Contribution to Public Welfare in China” awards
