The statement said that demand for auto parts is increasing in Africa as the continent purchases more vehicles made by Hyundai Motor and its affiliate Kia Motors Corp.
The Korea company also unveiled record first quarter earnings this week. Revenues reached 3.25 trillion won ($2.94bn), up 58.3% on last year. This led to 406bn won of operating profit and 541.6bn won of net profit, a leap of 84% on last year’s first quarter.
The company said that the success of its core components such as braking devices, motor driven power steering and lamps were the cause of the success.
