By GlobalDataUnder the new contract, Constellium will continue to provide customised aluminium alloys. It produced a ‘ramping up volume’ of several million pieces per year in 2016 and will now supply additional items to several Bosch plants worldwide with an expected overall volume per year targeted to double, subject to auto market demand and ramp-up of future ABS products.
“The contract further strengthens our longstanding relationship with Robert Bosch. It also demonstrates Constellium’s expertise in providing tailored products for the automotive market,” said Paul Warton, president of the automotive structures and industry business unit.
“The contract further contributes to our plans to increase Decin’s total capacity in the coming years.”
The Decin plant manufactures customised aluminium extrusions in soft and hard alloys with a variety of finishes for global markets. The factory is the largest integrated hard alloy facility in Europe and employs about 650 people. The site currently has an integrated foundry, 12 presses for direct and indirect extrusion production, as well as equipment for additional downstream operations.
