MMK’s Galvanized Products Meet Ford Standards
12/23/2010 - Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works successfully ensures that its galvanized rolled products conform to the requirements of Ford Motor Company.
Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) has successfully ensured that its galvanized rolled products conform to the requirements of Ford Motor Company.
The requirements apply to automotive products shipped to Ford’s automotive plants worldwide. Corresponding standards address dent-resistant steel sheets (with deformation hardening and BH-effect) and hot-dip low-alloy products with high and ultrahigh formability. Based on its newly confirmed conformance to these standards, MMK is now prepared to ship its products to the market.
Conformance to Ford’s standards supports MMK’s strategic goal to ensure that the quality of its automotive sheets meets international standards. In support of this goal, MMK has been working to build its cold-rolling Mill 2000 in Magnitogorsk.
The Magnitogorsk cold mill’s output will be further processed at the premises of MMK-Intercos service center and stamped components plant in St. Petersburg. This service-and-production facility — the first stage of which was commissioned in late November 2010 — will supply prefabricated sheets and stamped products along with stamped-and-welded components to carmakers operating in northwestern Russia.
Introduction of the new standards set forth by the world’s leading car manufacturers is yet another step for MMK’s pursuit of achieving key supplier status for domestic automakers and global automotive companies bringing their production lines to Russia.
