Auto production driving L. American rubber industry.Although the Asian economic crisis has tempered growth predictions, most analysts are still bullish on Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. . They believe government fiscal policies from Mexico to Argentina are strong enough to keep this area's growth on the strong, steady path it's been on the past couple of years. The formation of the Mercosur free trade pact A trade pact is a wide ranging tax, tariff and trade pact that often includes investment guarantees. Trade pacts are frequently politically contentious since they may change economic customs and deepen interdependence with trade partners. , which includes Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and Bolivia, has created a market of over 225 million people, lowered trade barriers in most of South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , and the Mercosur countries are negotiating with the countries of northern South America Northern South America is a region in the continent South America. This region has a rich range of natural resources exploited to European explorers over the past couple of centuries. Most of the most populous cities, such as Bogotá, are located temperate conditions of the Andes. to extend the pact.The International Rubber Study Group in its annual study "Outlook for elastomers" said Latin American economic growth could reach 8% in a decade if targets for reform, privatization privatization: see nationalization. privatization Transfer of government services or assets to the private sector. State-owned assets may be sold to private owners, or statutory restrictions on competition between privately and publicly owned and better education are met. The International Institute of Synthetic Rubber synthetic rubber: see rubber. Producers called growth in Latin America in 1997 "robust" due to an increase in rubber consumption of almost 6%. Britt britt n. Variant of brit. Noun 1. britt - the young of a herring or sprat or similar fish brit young fish - a fish that is young 2. Theismann, IISRP IISRP International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers information director, said "In Latin America, growth of synthetic rubber continued to outperform expectations in 1997." SR consumption increased 6.8% from 646 kt to 690 kt. All regions of Latin America experienced growth, with Argentina leading the way at 15.4%. Brazil posted a gain from 345 kt to 370 kt last year, and Mexican SR consumption increased by 5.7% from 149 kt to 156 kt. The IISRP is forecasting a 3.3% increase in SR consumption this year for Latin America and sees growth at an annual rate of 3.5% in its five year forecast. Mexico is expected to experience the largest growth with a rate of 4.6 per annum Per annum Yearly. . Consumption of SR in Mexico should be around 200 kt in 2002. Argentina's growth is pegged at 4.6% yearly to reach 77 kt in 2002, while Brazil's annual growth is expected to be around 3.2% as consumption of SR should reach 434 kt by 2002. Spurring this growth is the competition between the world's automakers, who have targeted Latin America for expansion. An estimated $15 billion is to be spent on automotive production capabilities by car manufacturers in the region in the coming years. Overcapacity o·ver·ca·pac·i·ty n. Too great a capacity for production of commodities or delivery of services in relation to actual need: the problem of overcapacity in many large industries. which appears inevitable, does not seem to be a concern. Herbert Demel, president of Volkswagen South America, said that his company would continue its $3 billion investment program in Brazil even though his figures show that if car manufacturers completed announced investments, overcapacity would be at least 20%. Brazil Brazil is the main target of the automotive manufacturers in Latin America, with Chrysler chairman Robert Eaton saying "Brazil is the most exciting auto market in the world." Potential is what the automakers see because the country has a ratio of one car per eleven citizens out of a population of over 160 million. The government has instituted incentive programs to spur investment in expansions and new projects. Also, many feel that the government's economic policies, which have been primarily focused on curbing the country's runaway inflation, have been successful. Currently, Fiat, Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford and Honda manufacture cars in Brazil, but they will soon be joined by nine others, plus a joint venture to manufacture engines from BMW BMW in full Bayerische Motoren Werke AG German automaker. Founded as an aircraft engine manufacturer in 1916, the company assumed the name Bayerische Motoren Werke and became known for its high-speed motorcycles in the 1920s. and Chrysler. Brazil has doubled car manufacturing this decade going from one million units in 1990 to over 2.1 million in 1997. They expect to reach three million units by the end of the decade. In addition, there are six truck manufacturers. Currently there are six tire manufacturers operating in the country. The latest available production figures show that Brazil produced over 26 million car tires in 1995, along with seven million commercial vehicle tires. Pirelli has four plants, Goodyear has a pair with a third under construction, Michelin is building its second tire plant, Bridgestone has one plant and, domestically, Maggion and Levorin each have manufacturing facilities. They will soon be joined by Continental, Kumho and Fate of Argentina. Pirelli is currently investing $170 million in a three year plan to expand its Gravatai tire facility that will make it the company's largest tire plant. The plant, which currently has a capacity of 16,000 tires a day and employs 1,000, will add 700 jobs upon completion of the expansion. Goodyear is building a $60 million plant in southern Brazil. The plant, to open late in 1999, will be the sole supplier of mounted and balanced tire assemblies for a new General Motors plant being built in Gravatai that will have a capacity for 120,000 vehicles annually. Goodyear currently has plants in Sao Paulo and Americana, with a combined output of 46,000 units daily. The company has invested over $260 million in Brazil since 1993. Michelin recently announced plans to build a passenger tire plant in Resende that will cost between $88 million and $176 million. The plant will open in 1999. The company has a truck and bus tire plant in Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro, city, Brazil Rio de Janeiro (rē`ō də zhänā`rō, Port. rē`  thĭ zhənĕē`r .The Goodyear plant and the Michelin facility will be the first new tire facilities built in the country since 1981. Of Pirelli's four plants, two were built before 1954. Goodyear's Sao Paulo plant was built in 1939 and Bridgestone's facility in Sao Paulo was built in 1940. The Brazilian rubber product manufacturing sector is undergoing change as multinational companies chase the car maker and the government's incentives make investment attractive. Germany's Saar Gummiwerk is building an automotive seal plant in Sao Paulo to supply European car makers. It will be a joint venture with Saar being the majority owner. Saar has had a technical agreement with Duplex Ltda., who has four plants in Brazil and one in Argentina supplying automotive parts. Another German firm, Woco Industrietechnik, opened a plant late in 1996 to make antivibration components in Sao Paulo. Getoflex Metzeler, a subsidiary of BTR BTR Rupee (currency of Bhutan) BTR Board of Technical Registration BTR Born to Run (Bruce Springsteen song) BTR Bureau of Tourism Research (Australia) BTR Back To Reality plc., is adding capacity for its antivibration systems components products. The company has three manufacturing sites in the country. Sweden's Trelleborg acquired the majority interest in Projetos e Apli-cacoes de Vibrotecnica e Vedacao Ltda. The company's main products are rubber-to-metal antivibration components for truck manufacturers such as Scania, Volvo and Mercedes Benz Mercedes Benz expensive automobile and status symbol. [Trademarks: Crowley Trade, 368] See : Luxury , with a plant in Sao Paulo. Brazil's rubber consumption has more than doubled since 1975 and reached 475,000 mt in 1997. More than 60% of the rubber goes into tire manufacturing. In 1997, synthetic rubber production reached 305,000 mt and natural rubber production totaled 47,000 mt. South American Leaf Blight is still the major detriment to the NR industry, which once was the largest in the world. Brazil's oil and petrochemical industry is slowly being privatized. There are three synthetic rubber producers, Nitriflex, DSM 1. DSM - Data Structure Manager. An object-oriented language by J.E. Rumbaugh and M.E. Loomis of GE, similar to C++. It is used in implementation of CAD/CAE software. DSM is written in DSM and C and produces C as output. Elastomeros Brasil and Petroflex, that have capacities to supply the domestic market, but their production outputs have not kept pace with consumption, making the country a net importer of rubber. With all of the planned rubber product activity, the country is going to need more rubber production.

Petroflex has three SBR SBR - Spectral Band Replication facilities with a total capacity of near 400,000 mt. Petroflex also has some capacity for thermoplastic elastomers and latex. Argentina Argentina has experienced remarkable growth in its automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. over the past couple of years. The country's auto production is expected to increase 125% between 1997 and 2001. Production, which stood at 314,500 in 1997, is expected to grow 17% a year to reach 708,700 vehicles manufactured in 2001. The Argentine tire industry is expected to grow at a slower 5.6% annual rate in the same time frame. Four tire manufacturers have facilities in the country. Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear have plants in Buenos Aires Buenos Aires (bwā`nəs ī`rēz, âr`ēz, Span. bwā`nōs ī`rās), city and federal district (1991 pop. and Argentine owned FATE has an 8,500 tire per day plant in San Fernando San Fernando, city, Argentina San Fernando (săn fərnăn`dō), city (1991 pop. 144,761), Buenos Aires prov., E Argentina. It is a district administrative center in the Greater Buenos Aires area. . Tire production has increased from 6.9 million tires in 1995 to 7.2 million units in 1997. It is expected to reach 9.5 million by 2001. The Argentina rubber industry has tracked the country's economy, which has gone through a number of recessionary periods in the past quarter of a century. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. FAIC FAIC Fellow of the American Institute of Chemists FAIC For All I Care (band) (Federacion Argentina de la Industria del Caucho), rubber product manufacturing peaked in 1974 when 99, 100 mt of rubber was consumed. Production bottomed out in the early 1980s and totalled 75,300 mt in 1992. Consumption reached 87,000 mt in 1996 and the IRSG IRSG - Internet Research Steering Group estimates consumption will reach 93,000 mt this year. A. Cortez Ruiz of FAIC said that the globalization globalization Process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world. Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation of the industry has had a deleterious deleterious adj. harmful. effect on the country's rubber product manufacturers who found themselves competing with imports, many of better quality. Numerous plants shut down and the remaining ones have gone through upgrades in technology and equipment to stay competitive. The FAIC says that imports increased from $17.27 million in 1986 to $323.58 million ten years later. The FAIC has 300 member companies presently, down from a high of 400 in 1990. Most of the manufacturing (87%) is done in the industrial area around Buenos Aires. FAIC estimates there are 7,600 people employed in the non-tire sector with their members. Another 2,900 are employed in tire manufacturing. The change in trade policy, which opened Argentina's markets, also enabled a number of companies to export more freely. Brazil, Argentina's Mercosur partner, has been a major destination for these exports. FAIC officials said exact historical figures aren't available, but there is a recognized increase in exports. In 1996, the country's rubber product manufacturers exported $97.1 million worth of products. Of that amount, $76 million went to Mercosur partners, with Brazil being the destination of $56 million worth. The leading exports include tires and tubes, adhesive products, surgery gloves and automobile aftermarket Aftermarket See: Secondary market. aftermarket See secondary market. parts. Currently, BTR is spending $6 million to add sealing system and antivibration system component capacity at its plant near Buenos Aires. With the exception of SBR and NBR, Argentina has to import most elastomers and other compounding ingredients. Prior to the expansion of the auto industry, Argentina was a net importer of SBR in 1994. PASA PASA Purchasing and Supply Agency (UK NHS) PASA Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture PASA Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia PASA Pan African Sanctuary Alliance PASA Publishers’ Association of South Africa currently has a capacity of 55,000 mt for SBR/HSR and 5,000 mt for NBR. They will double the NBR capacity by 2002. The company says it is undertaking a feasibility study "A Feasibility Study" is an episode of the original The Outer Limits television show. It first aired on 13 April, 1964, during the first season. It was remade in 1997 as part of the revived The Outer Limits series with a minor title change. on a new multipurpose plant Multipurpose plants are factories employed extensively in process industries for the manufacture of many types of products, particularly those which the production processes or the demand pattern are likely to change. for polybutadine and styrene sty·rene n.

Cabot is the only carbon black producer in Argentina and produced 9,250 mt in 1996. Mexico The Mexican economy, which began an upward movement in 1995, is performing above almost everyone's expectations. According to government figures, Mexican GDP GDP (guanosine diphosphate): see guanine. grew 8.1% in the third quarter of 1997 compared to the same time in 1996. For the first nine months of the year, GDP was up 7.3%. This forced forecasts to be revised upward to over 7% growth. The North American Free Trade Agreement North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), accord establishing a free-trade zone in North America; it was signed in 1992 by Canada, Mexico, and the United States and took effect on Jan. 1, 1994. (NAFTA NAFTA in full North American Free Trade Agreement Trade pact signed by Canada, the U.S., and Mexico in 1992, which took effect in 1994.

Longitudes 20° W and 160° E are often considered its boundaries. distribution of products. The troubles the Mexican economy have been through are evident in its rubber consumption figures, which have yet to recover to 1985 figures, when consumption stood at 208,000 mt. Consumption bottomed out in 1995 at 146,000 mt. Consumption rebounded to 183,000 mt in 1997 and the IRSG predicts consumption should reach close to 190,000 mt this year. The IISRP sees consumption reaching near 200,000 mt by 2002. Five automobile manufacturers have facilities in Mexico and there is an estimated capacity of near one million units yearly. This will increase when Volkswagen opens a new plant in Mexico City Mexico City Spanish Ciudad de México City (pop., 2000: city, 8,605,239; 2003 metro. area est., 18,660,000), capital of Mexico. Located at an elevation of 7,350 ft (2,240 m), it is officially coterminous with the Federal District, which occupies 571 sq mi next year. There are nine tire manufacturing plants. Bridgestone, Michelin, Tornei and Euzkadi have two plants each and Goodyear has an 18,000 unit per day facility in Mexico City. Passenger tire production in the country reached a high of 6.7 million units in 1990, but slipped to just over six million units in 1995. NAFTA has many rubber product manufacturers considering some sort of manufacturing presence in Mexico. The major tire companies Manufacturer Country Est. Brands and Subsidiaries Aeolus Tyre China Alliance Tire Company Ltd. Israel 1950 Amtel-Povolzhye, Kirov; Amtel-Chernozemye, Voronezh Apollo Tyres Ltd. already had plants located there. Lower cost manufacturing was the main reason Goodyear said it was going to build a $15 million engineered products facility that will begin production in 1999. The company is shifting its power transmission belt business from Lincoln, NE. Continental has entered a joint venture agreement with Grupo Tebo to manufacture hose assemblies at a plant near Mexico City. Standard Products and Nishikawa Rubber have built a $14 million sealing systems plant in Aquascaliente. Avon Rubber Avon Rubber plc is a world-leading manufacturer of high technology rubber-based products, principally components for a number of manufacturing sectors.
