Mr. Nardone continued: "The inherent advantages of the Vari-Form hydroforming process, in terms of reduced weight, per-part cost and tooling costs, deliver significant benefits to manufacturers in China and other customers around the world. As OEMs realize the unique performance and cost advantages of hydroformed assemblies, these relationships will continue to drive Vari-Form's success and deliver superior products for customers, particularly in China."
