Dubai Aluminium Company Limited (Dubal), the world’s seventh largest producer of primary aluminium, will once again showcase the company’s specialised alloy products at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2008.

The show, to be held from May 21 to 23 in Yokohama, Japan, provides a platform for manufacturers of automobiles related companies to exhibit their latest products and technology.

Dubal manufactures Silafont 36 – a special alloy for crash-sensitive motor vehicle parts for both cars and motor cycles – under licence from Reinfelden Aluminium of Germany.

Currently, Dubal expects to ship 100,000 tonnes of aluminium to Japan in 2008, the majority of which will be billet (52 per cent), followed by high purity aluminium (25 per cent), foundry alloy (11 per cent) and standard purity (9 per cent). - TradeArabia News Service
