With the goal to expand the 2023 WCX – Lightweighting – Materials – Efficiency Pavilion, ALUMAG® is coming back to co-organize this pavilion together with the SAE. This pavilion will showcase technologies and innovations that help automotive suppliers to:
Decrease weight and improve powertrain efficiency to reduce emissions.
Function integration and structural light-weighting.
Develop advanced multi-material / process hybrids.
Design, develop and manufacture new materials and processes.
Pursue green powertrains, ICE emission reduction and battery drivetrains.
For over 9 years ALUMAG® has been promoting this event, and since 2018 we have taken the roll of organizing and overlooking the operation of the Lightweighting – Materials – Efficiency Pavilion.
This pavilion is the right platform for companies, committed to discover and develop advanced lightweighting and or sustainable powertrain, as you will meet the right audience of key automotive players (OEM’s, Tier I and II) during this 3-day event.
The 4th Automotive Lightweight Supply-Chain Symposium was held on the 11th – 13th of July, 2016 in Shanghai with 107 attendees. The symposium, which focused on automotive lightweight supply chain and procurement management, was kicked off on the 11th of July with a factory tour to Webasto Shanghai Ltd, one of the world’s biggest roof system suppliers. On return a reception party at the 5* Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel in Shanghai provided a perfect setup for networking and interchanging. The lectures began in the morning of the 12th of July and continued on the 13th with 12 presentations in all, by national as well as international executives / experts from different kind of OEMs and Tiers.
The following topics were covered: The All New Cadillac CT6 – Manufacturing A Lightweight Mixed Material Body Structure | Light Weight Solutions In Modern Roof Design | Lightweighting; It’s A Mixed Up World – Shiloh’s Advanced Multiple Solutions In Automotive Applications | Leading Edge Suppliers In The New Aluminum Lightweight Technology | 3D Aluminum & Magnesium Extrusion With The HybrEx For Automotive Structural Applications |Lightweight New Development Of Baosteel Automotive Sheet | Advanced Lightweighting Applications & Planning |The Application Of The AL/Mg Alloy Component In Changan Passenger Cars | The Latest Development Of Aluminum Application On vehicles | Fastener Solutions for Multi-Material BIW Structure |Global Procurement Strategies Illustrated On Lightweight Structural Castings | Development Of The Aluminum Car Body In The Automotive Industry & Potential Future Trends.
With multiple coffee / lunch breaks and a second reception party in the evening of the 12th of July, networking and interchanging with the fellow attendees was at the forefront during the entire length of the symposium.
As the symposium came to an end, in the afternoon of the 13th of July, all delegates were invited to attend the China Diecasting & Aluminum Exhibitions as VIP guests.

“It was a very good event. Thanks to you and ALUMAG for bringing such a great event to N. America.”
Mr. Steve Church President & CEO – Gibbs Die Casting.
“First of all, many thanks for the invitation. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and the exhibition. It was nice to see companies around the globe with so many products.
I actually have no critical comments for improvements, so please continue the way you are going.”
Dr. Anil Sachdev R&D Manager Light Metal System – GM
“It was the best light-weighting venue ever. The audience and the speakers covered the globe, and the presentations were very technical. It was quite unusual that the hosts are experts in the field too! Of course, the primary reason to attend is to network and with one connection, we have already processed a NDA and are developing material specifications toward an improved aluminum alloy.
I am a little curious why the event title included the word “procurement?” This almost deterred me from attending as I thought it was targeted to purchasing people.”
Mr. Andrew Halonen Business Development – NanoAl LLC
“Thanks for having introduced many new contacts”
Mr. Jo Tamiya Sales Group Leader, Die Casting Division – Ryobi Limited
“We got interesting informations and made some connections with suppliers. Thank you so much.
I hope your symposium grow up to be the one of major conference in US.”
Mr. Kenichi Tokita Engine Designer – Subaru Research & Development Inc.
“I do not know how to thank you for all your kindness during N. America Automotive Lightweight Procurement Symposium.
Our members who joined the Symposium were intrigued by their insight on the presentations.
Many thanks again from all of our members for excellent Symposium.”
Mr. Tomoya Yokouchi Purchase Assistant Manager TSR Development Dept. – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.
“You made a perfect job and every time you supported us in a perfect and personalized way.
Even if the trip was a small challenge for us, our stay in Detroit and the Symposium was from our point of view well made.
Of course the location and especially the light conditions at the stage are improvable. But you know this, I am sure. It would be a pleasure for us to be also next year a part of your symposium.”
Mr. Jörg Mantwill Director Marketing & Sales – Bharat Forge Aluminiumtechnik GmbH
“I enjoyed the time I spent with the team in Detroit. First class venue, food, audio visual support, program well done, etc. I think I added a “general overview” for your audience. Pretty large crowd I thought for the detailed subject matter. I’d be willing to do it again if travel, etc. worked out.”
