Construction Progressing on New PBR Foundry in
China
Construction is steadily progressing
on
the new PBR foundry located in
Dalian, China. This latest facility
will compliment the production activities already underway in
Dalian through a recently completed
manufacturing centre which focuses
on
the production of brake calipers
and Banksia park brakes for local
and overseas markets.The new foundry has a designed capacity
of
45,000 tonnes of high quality cast
iron products per annum and will initially
focus on the production of brake caliper
housings, caliper brackets and park
brake backplates.
Located in the Dalian Development Zone
Liaoning Province in North East China,
the new production facilities are well
situated with access to international
sea and air ports.
Foundry production is planned for
commencement in October 2006
and, combined with the existing
Dalian manufacturing centre,
will play a key role in PBR delivering
long term globally competitive brake
systems to vehicle manufacturers.
Earlier this year contracts were awarded
by
Shanghai GM for the local production
of
PBR brake systems which will commence in November 2006.
