Audi Launching New Diecasting Facility 奥迪启动新压铸项目
Carmaker Audi, Ingolstadt, Germany, has purchased a
manufacturing site in Münchsmünster, Germany, on which it plans to develop a diecasting facility, among other opera- tions, by the end of 2013. According to a company press release, Audi purchased 40
hectares of land in Münchsmünster to accommodate some of the growth of its Ingolstadt manufacturing site. Te car- maker initially will develop around 27 hectares of the land to launch assembly and machining capacity, in addition to the diecasting operation. “Te strategic investment in Münchsmünster is part
of our growth strategy,” said Frank Dreves, an Audi board member. “It allows us to free up capacity at existing plants and use sites in the surrounding area for future technologies.” Dreves said Audi believes expanding its expertise in alu- minum diecasting will be an important part of the new manufacturing facility’s success. “Diecast components are a central element of our light-
weight construction strategy,” Dreves said. “Having our own diecasting foundry will enable us to advance the necessary technology and guarantee the long-term supply of diecast aluminum parts.” Audi is also planning the production of sheet metal and
thermoformed parts. Development of the site will start in 2012, and operations are expected to commence in the sec- ond half of 2013. ■
