WISCO To Supply Nissan With Cold-Rolled Steel

Wuhan Iron and Steel Co, one of the leading iron and steel makers in China, was selected last Thursday to supply cold-rolled steel products to Nissan Motor Co Ltd, Japan's third largest automaker, sources reported.

Next month, Wuhan Iron & Steel will begin to supply Nissan with alloyed galvanized plate, which will be used in the Japanese car maker's products.

Last July, Nissan evaluated Wuhan Iron & Steel based on the Alliance Supplier Evaluation Standard (ASES), to determine whether the quality management of the Chinese steel maker satisfies Nissan's criteria.

Although Wuhan Iron & Steel initially failed the examination, the company improved the overall system as required by ASES and passed Nissan's assessment at the beginning of 2009.

Furthermore, the Chinese steel maker made progress in the silicon steel sheet cold rolling technology and expanded the related production line from 36 to 150 models.
