AAM 将在巴塞罗那扩展新制造基地

慕尼黑/底特律，2018 年 6 月 28 日 – American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc.（纽约证券交易所代码：AXL）作为汽车动力传动系统和动力系统部件的设计、工程和制造方面的全球领先企业，将扩大在西班牙 Viladecans 工业区的运营，以支持新老欧洲客户的增长。

该工厂将于 2019 年 1 月开业，占地 15,000 平方米，位于巴塞罗那西南 20 公里处，将为包括雷诺、宝马、戴姆勒、保时捷、奥迪和福特在内的欧洲领先汽车制造商生产动力系统部件。新工厂整合了附近 Gavà 的两家规模较小的工厂，全力生产时将雇佣 170 名员工。

AAM 董事长兼首席执行官 David C. Dauch 表示：“随着 AAM 不断多元化和扩大全球客户群和产品组合，我们在巴塞罗那的新工厂将成为欧洲制造业务不可或缺的一部分。”“新工厂将帮助 AAM 满足客户对有助于减少小型发动机噪音和震动的产品的需求。”

AAM 巴塞罗那工厂将生产一系列完整的减震器产品，包括压缩减震器、PV 胶结式减震器、隔离皮带轮、模内胶结式减震器和减震齿轮。AAM 是该领域的领导者，率先推出了隔离皮带轮、许多类型的硅油减震器和减震齿轮

 AAM 动力系统总裁 Greg Deveson 表示：“巴塞罗那的新工厂将使 AAM 能够通过精益高效的布局和生产流程来合理化和改善运营，并重新整合当前外包的仓库。”“随着汽车制造商不断缩小发动机尺寸，尤其是混合动力应用数量的增加，对减震齿轮和隔离皮带轮等产品的需求将会增加。这家新工厂将帮助 AAM 继续满足并超越客户对性能和质量的期望。”

除其他制造活动外，AAM 还将为福特、宝马和 PSA 生产减震齿轮，为奥迪、奔驰和 FCA 生产 PV 胶结式减震器，为雷诺生产隔离皮带轮，以及为奔驰、福特和保时捷生产模内胶结式减震器。

加泰罗尼亚贸易投资署 (Catalonia Trade and Investment agency)、INCASÒL 和 Consorci urbanístic DeltaBCN 支持 AAM 扩建这家工厂。
