Alcoa Wheels Make PACE Final

Alcoa Wheel Products is a finalist in the 2007 Automotive News PACE Award competition. The 13th annual PACE (Premier Automotive Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Award is presented by Microsoft, SAP, Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC Inc.) and Automotive News.

Alcoa Wheel Products was recognized for its Dura-Bright® Wheels with XBR Technology. The unique properties of this patented surface technology create a cross-linked system that actually penetrates the aluminium to become an integral part of the wheel. Unlike coated wheels, it will not peel, crack, corrode, or chip and only requires rinsing with water to maintain its bright, polished appearance.

The PACE Award is open to suppliers that contribute products, processes, materials or services directly to the manufacture of cars or trucks and Alcoa Wheel Products is a finalist in the Product category.
