from the business section of the northern LA county fishwrapper/kennel-carpet:  

WHEEL DEAL: Van Nuys-based Superior Industries announced its Hungarian joint    
venture with Germany-based Otto Fuchs Metalwerke was awarded a multiyear        
contract to supply cast aluminum wheels for the new Audi TT convertible.        
Shipment of wheels to Audi's plant in Gyor, Hungary, is scheduled to begin      
in April 1998.  This long-term contract, combined with the previously announced 
order of 700,000 lightweight forged aluminum to Audi amounts to more than       
$40 million in annual revenues from this customer.                              


my comment here:                                                                
btw, superior is one of the few success stories in the industrial flight from   
socal.
