More than 60 steel companies, their suppliers, and automotive manufacturers have shared in directing this program and profited from its results. We expect to continue holding program review meetings on a worldwide basis to share the most recent results from this program with sponsors and allow them to share in the directing of the program. These forums have also proven to be useful for discussion of current technical issues facing producers and users of zinc coated steels.

As the 2023-2025 GAP Program concludes, you are invited to join the 2026-2028 GAP Program. The new program builds on our past work on galvanizing of advanced high strength steels, is expected to extend our knowledge of galvanizing line operations and includes continuing efforts on forming and welding issues encountered by automakers.  If your company has sponsored the GAP program before, we look forward to welcoming you as a sponsor of the 2026-2028 Program. If your company is considering new sponsorship, we look forward to discussing the benefits of the GAP program with you and welcoming you to membership in this program for 2026-2028.
