Moscow, June 1. Prospects for the development of the wheel disc market were discussed at a meeting with the leading dealers of Casting and Mechanical Plant SKAD Ltd with the participation of the Aluminum Association. The meeting was attended by managers and specialists of UC RUSAL, Casting and Mechanical Plant SKAD Ltd, Kolesnyi Ryad, Shininvest, Sever-Avto-M, B-tyre, Avtodisk, Crown Disks, Avtoshinsnab Corporation and others.
The meeting considered the situation with the import of wheel disks. It was noted that more than 1 million poor-quality wheel discs are imported into Russia annually, mainly from China. More than 80% of certificates of conformity for the discs are issued unreasonably - without necessary tests. As a result, the infringing imported products have an unfair competitive advantage over the wheel discs manufactured by the domestic companies.
In order to overcome this situation, the Aluminium Association has developed a package of measures to protect the market. A special emphasis in this work is placed on an orderly organization of the certification process and the control of the import of poor-quality discs.
