The objective of this project was to characterize high strength aluminum for roll forming through a combination of research, simulation, prototyping, and validation. This information was then used to establish guidelines for roll forming high strength aluminum at a production scale.

Originating from Katayama Kogyo Co., LTD., founded in 1947 by Kakuji Katayama in Okayama, Japan, the Katayama Group has grown as a private manufacturing entity. Katayama Kogyo's initial offerings comprised automotive exhaust flexible tubes, swiftly expanding to include thermo tubing and other tube-related products. From these modest origins, we have evolved to produce a comprehensive range of Tier 1 automotive interior and exterior parts.

Looking ahead, our enduring legacy of expertise and commitment to continuous enhancement will propel us to establish new standards in product manufacturing.
