[Important announcement] Regarding global outsourcing opportunities with Hyundai & Kia Corporate Procurement Division

Reflecting the current trend in global outsourcing by major automobile companies in order to remain competitive, both Hyundai and Kia Corporate Procurement Division agreed to fully cooperate with AIN Global Foundation to search for potential global partners for their outsourcing program. AIN Global hosts the KOAASHOW, which is the most extensive exhibition of auto parts and auto-related industries in Korea, and both Hyundai and Kia will utilize all resources from AIN Global for their search of overseas suppliers.

Specifically, AIN Global will be responsible for receiving and forwarding applications and cover letters from overseas suppliers, interested in conducting business with Hyundai and/or Kia. It will then organize in-depth discussion between Hyundai and/or Kia and the overseas suppliers. The selected companies will be contacted individually after examination of all the documents, and will be notified of further proceedings.

We would like many companies, including those with innovative, new technology that can be applied to new generation cars, to apply for this global outsourcing program. We also hope to personally meet with the suppliers that are interested in the outsourcing program at the KOAASHOW, so please do not miss this wonderful opportunity.

Any supplier, interested in contacting the Hyundai and/or Kia Corporate Procurement Division, should send an application and cover letter to silver@ainglobal.org . We will also take applications and cover letters from suppliers at KOAASHOW 2009. Please note that participation in KOAASHOW is not a requirement for applying. Application form is available on our website (www.koaashow.com) under ‘Info Center’.
