SuperAlloy Industrial (SAI), the largest manufacturer of forged aluminium wheels has been successfully registered with the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) as a Production and Transformation member. The company has gradually grown over the last twenty years, while in 2011 SAI extended its product inventory by introducing a new department, especially for precision engineering and production of automobile suspension parts and components.
SuperAlloy Industrial Co. (SAI) first began its study and development of forged aluminium wheels in 2000 and in the start, General Motors (GM) was the company’s trusted customer. Both the firms have formed a solid partnership over all these years. By 2002, SAI received GM’s Tier 1 certification establishing a concrete business ground for the company. Soon, demand was high and to expand its bases SAI included various high-end automobile manufacturers in Europe, Japan and USA. Also, the suspension parts unit has grown exponentially over the years.
Today, SAI is the largest producer of forged aluminium wheels for sports and luxury automobiles worldwide. SAI hopes to maintain a sustainable business model with its various long-term customers, including some of the world’s most acknowledged and famous automobile brands. To reach its aim, the company has an ideology to focus on ‘Advancing Lightweight Engineering’ through continuous development and refinement of products, which is only possible by employing trained staff, detailed research, design, technology, quality control and precision machining.
The Director, Steven Kuo exclaimed: “We are devoted to studying a renewable and greener business cycle in the aluminium manufacturing industry. Thinking about how to elevate the efficiency of energy usage and reduce pollution in our environment are the major topics we have been focusing on. By joining ASI, we believe to take more responsibility for CSR and accelerating the development of sustainability to better present the result of CO2 reduction. We are highly anticipating cooperating with other ASI members to continue walking into a more energy-saving, CO2-free, high-end and intelligent future, and to lead more corporates to fulfil their carbon-neutral objectives.”
Achieving the ASI certificate has prepared the company for global validation. The Certification Programme has evolved through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process and is the only voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. ASI Performance Standard certifications focus on ‘material stewardship’, addressing issues such as product design, life cycle assessment, management of processed scrap and collection and recycling of products at the end of life.
