デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel, Hydro form technical cooperation agreement for automotive aluminum body panels

June 11, 2013

TOKYO, June 11, 2013 – デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel, Ltd. 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.

Demand for aluminum sheet for automotive body panels is anticipated to increase to meet the need for lighter cars, amid stricter fuel economy standards. デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel’s aluminum sheet business is focusing on expanding sales in this area.

デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel currently supplies a large share of the automotive aluminum sheet to Japanese auto makers. In the future, デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel 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.

As a part of this undertaking, デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel formed this technical cooperation with Hydro, a leading European supplier of aluminum sheet for automotive body panels.

デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel 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 デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel’s capability to meet the global procurement needs of its customers. In these ways, デュエルビッツカジノ ログインel aims to further grow its automotive aluminum panel business.
