Norsk Hydro gets aluminium tubing deal from Bohn Mexico

Dow Jones quoted Norsk Hydro said that Bohn Mexico has elected to replace its copper tubes with aluminium tubing from Hydro. Main facts are 1. The substitution of materials will affect about one third of Bohn's production of evaporators in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration market. 2. Bohn Mexico will convert in the short term its copper based solutions to aluminium tubes manufactured by Hydro's aluminium precision tubing plant in Reynosa, Mexico. 3. The conversion will cover 3 different sizes of tubes and will increase Hydro's deliveries to Bohn Mexico to approximately 150,000 pounds around 68,000 kilograms per year. (Sourced from Dow Jones)
