INTERMET to open sales and engineering office in Japan

Automotive Industries, August, 2003

INTERMET Corp. will open a sales and engineering office in Japan to support its growing roster of automotive customers based in the Asia-Pacific region. Located in central Tokyo, the new office will further expand INTERMET's engineering and sales support activities and will be networked with the company's other sales and technology centers in the United States and Europe.

The facility will house sales engineering personnel and support staff who will be responsible for creating brand awareness, expanding sales distribution channels and increasing demand for INTERMET products. They also will be focused on working with INTERMET's automotive partners in Japan, China and Korea to design cast-metal components that will help reduce the weight, cost and production cycles of their products.
