科比钢铁有限公司announces that it has entered into a technical cooperation agreement with Germany’s Hydro Aluminium Rolled Products GmbH for aluminum sheet used in automotive body panels.
The agreement covers the exchange of technical information regarding the use of aluminum in automobile bodies and structural parts, the licensing of intellectual property and manufacturing know-how, and technical assistance.
在更严格的燃油经济性标准中，预计对汽车车身面板的铝板需求将增加以满足对较轻的汽车的需求。科比钢铁公司的铝纸业务专注于扩大该领域的销售。
科比钢currently supplies a large share of the automotive aluminum sheet to Japanese auto makers. In the future, Kobe Steel anticipates expanding sales to European and U.S. car makers as well. As auto makers grow their businesses, there is a rising need to locally procure the same quality of materials worldwide.
作为这项事业的一部分，科比钢铁公司与Hydro建立了这种技术合作，这是欧洲领先的铝板供应商，用于汽车车身面板。
科比钢is planning to build a global supply network for aluminum body panels, as announced in its medium-term business plan on May 29, 2013. In addition, the agreement with Hydro strengthens Kobe Steel’s capability to meet the global procurement needs of its customers. In these ways, Kobe Steel aims to further grow its automotive aluminum panel business.
