Dofasco ponders greater cooperation with Toyota
Several Canadian news sources suggest that Japanese automaker Toyotas proposed CA$600 million (US$484 million) assembly plant in southwestern Ontario has caused Canadian steelmaker Dofasco to consider establishing a new galvanizing mill in the province.
Dofascos main product lines include hot rolled, cold rolled,
galvanized, and
tinplate flat rolled steels, as well as
tubular products. The company's major North American customers include GM, Ford, and Honda.
If Dofasco and Toyota proceed with their proposed
investments it could create the perfect opportunity for both companies to expand their cooperation. Toyota is currently the smallest of Dofascos
automotive customers.
