POSCO C&C Co., a South Korean maker of coated steel sheets, has signed a contract to supply annually more than 10,000 tons of a highly corrosion-resistant, aluminum-coated steel sheet to a U.S. auto parts producer, its parent company said Sunday.
  

Under the deal, POSCO C&C will supply AP Emissions Technologies, the leading aftermarket exhaust and emissions supplier in America, with over 10,000 tons of its latest coated steel sheet, dubbed "Super Alcosta," over the next four years, according to POSCO.
  

POSCO C&C's new steel sheet is three times more corrosion-resistant than existing products, said POSCO, the top steelmaker in South Korea.
  

POSCO C&C succeeded in mass producing the aluminum-plated steel sheet for the first time in the world in 2015, five years after the company started developing it.
  

POSCO is scheduled to complete a Super Alcosta plant in April and is targeting to sell more than 350,000 tons of the new steel sheet worldwide by 2018, according to POSCO. (Yonhap)
