Gestamp has signed a JV Agreement with Beijing Hainachuan Automotive Parts Co. Ltd. The new alliance improves Gestamp's strategic positioning, in order to support not only Daimler, Hyundai and other non-Chinese brands in the Beijing area, but also BAIC's own vehicle brands in all of China. Outside of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Province, Gestamp will continue to manufacture auto components to all non-BAIC clients outside of the JV.
