✦ Synopsis
Gencorp announced last month that it intends to form a strategic alliance with Saiag SpA, an Italian joint stock company, and Tokai Kogyo, a Japanese corporation, to jointly pursue global opportunities and cooperate on various technologies for their automotive vehicle sealing businesses.
The alliance provides the framework for technical exchange and collaborative technical development efforts which may ultimately lead to additional agreements for production cooperation and joint ventures at various locations around the world.
GenCorp believes the alliance affords an excellent means of geographical extension for its vehicle sealing business.
Its vehicle sealing business unit is headquartered in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, USA. It produces rubber and plastic automotive weatherstripping including door, trunklid, hood and other body seals, movable and stationary glass seals and encapsulated window seals. GenCorp operates vehicle sealing plants in the US and Canada, and through its wholly owned subsidiary, Henniges, in Germany and Ireland.
Saiag is an Italian company operating for over sixty years in the field of rubber technical products for the automotive and industrial sectors. More recently, it diversified into electric cords and cables; rubber hoses for industrial, hydraulic, oil and marine applications; aluminum roiling and transtormation. It's sealing business unit operates primarily from facilities in Europe.
Tokai Kogyo is headquartered in Obu City, near Nagoya, Japan. The company is one of the largest Japanese producers of automotive extruded and molded plastic and rubber weatherstripping and trim parts. In addition to plants in Japan, Tokai has a subsidiary in the USA, called Green Tokai, and joint venture production facilities in France, Thailand and Brazil.
