YSC Cashes In On Aluminum Bike Parts This Year

Taipei, Feb. 14, 2012 (CENS)--Actively improving aluminum production technologies, Yeong Shyh Cheng (YSC) Alu Co., Ltd., a Taiwanese maker of aluminum extrusions, has received a flood of contract orders for bike parts of aluminum, poised to cash in on the segment this year.

The company has been specializing in aluminum and aluminum alloy extrusions for use in seamless tubing, industrial production, medical instruments, bicycles, etc. and related heat processing services for decades, deemed as one of professional makers of this kind on the island.

To ride on the growing market trend for high-strength, high-quality materials used in bicycle production, the company has made considerable efforts on innovating thermal treating methodologies in recent years. The efforts have paid off obviously, as the company has enjoyed influx of contract orders from bicycle parts makers for aluminum extrusions so far, which will surely serve as one of the company's revenue contributors this year.

The company insistently imports raw aluminum materials, and can independently handle the whole manufacturing process from die casting, homogenizing, ingoting, straightening and extruding to aging, warping and drawing, anodizing, and packaging and delivery. The company stated that all its production equipment, floor layout and quality management are complied with international quality standards, making it live up to customers' increasing requirements for automated, efficient production along with computerized, effective management. Besides, the company is also noted for its digitalized, timely services guaranteed, which allow customers to trace their orders more conveniently and create added-value.

To sharpen its competitive edges, the company has been dedicated to research and improvement of aluminum and aluminum alloy materials to enrich its knowledge about material properties and related manufacturing methodologies, and built close partnership with local R&D bodies as Metal Industries Research & Development Centre.

Noteworthy is that the company has received official subsidies from the SBIR program for its R&D of welding materials for high alloy steel for use in bicycles, and has also worked out innovative process technology and related equipment for improving tube elasticity. These achievements will not only help the company to better compete globally, but leverage its position in the line.
