KAAP中国的6,300吨锻造出版社
A joint venture of Kobe Steel, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Toyota Tsusho Corporation, KAAP China produces and sells aluminum forgings for automotive suspensions in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China.
KAAP China has doubled the production capacity of its aluminum forgings to 250,000 pieces per month. The addition of a melting furnace and casting line has enabled KAAP China to establish an integrated production system that ranges from melting to forging. Total capital investment for the second-phase expansion totaled 4.5 billion yen.
世界上最大的汽车市场中国的汽车制造业预计将从2012年的1900万台上增加到2022年的2800万辆汽车。越来越多的汽车需求满足更严格的燃油消耗法规。结果，中国对铝悬浮液的需求迅速增加，主要来自日本，美国和欧洲汽车制造商。
Against this background, KAAP China started up its first line, which consists of a forging press and heat treatment equipment in August 2012. With demand anticipated to continue growing, the company decided in December 2011, when the first phase was still under construction, to further expand production capacity. The second-phase investment consisted of an additional forging press and heat treatment equipment. A melting furnace and casting line were also added, making possible the local production of aluminum billets and considerably improving cost competitiveness.
科比钢produces aluminum forgings for automotive suspensions at its Daian Plant in Inabe, Mie Prefecture, Japan and at subsidiary Kobe Aluminum Automotive Products, LLC in Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA. The addition of KAAP China has enabled Kobe Steel to establish a production network in three locations: Japan, China and the United States. The expansion at KAAP China has now established integrated production systems in all three locations.
The world automobile market is anticipated to continue growing in the coming years. Kobe Aluminum Automotive Products, LLC in the United States is also expanding its production capacity. These investments will enable Kobe Steel to meet the rising global demand for aluminum suspensions.
