Joint Venture with Bohai Automotive Systems
On December 13, 2017 Trimet Aluminium SE signed a joint venture agreement with Bohai Automotive Systems Co., Ltd (Bohai) for the materials specialist’s Automotive Division. Once this transaction is final, the Chinese automotive specialist will hold the majority of shares in Trimet Automotive Holding GmbH, which along with its subsidiaries at the plants in Harzgerode and Sömmerda manufactures high-quality die-casting components for vehicle construction. The transaction has yet to be approved by the supervisory authorities.
The goal of the joint venture with Bohai is to strengthen the international orientation of the Automotive Division as a system supplier for the globally operating automobile manufacturers, for whom China is a particularly important growth market. With the joint venture Trimet is effectively strengthening its automotive plants in Harzgerode and Sömmerda, making the jobs there future-proof.
