“The new office is a logical step for Metaldyne, as the Asia-Pacific region is becoming an increasingly important growth area for our company,” said Tim Leuliette, chairman, president and CEO. “Because of the strong economic growth projections for the region and the attractive economic environment, China will play a larger role as a customer for our products and as a supplier of our materials.”
