This magnesium sand casting company needed a joint venture with a new aerospace client to penetrate new international markets
Client description:
A national magnesium sand casting company
Challenge:
A magnesium sand casting company wanted to enter the Korean aerospace industry and secure new clients in the US via an international joint venture.

The result:
A successful joint-venture was consummated between the client and a Korean casting company that was a tier one supplier to the local aerospace industry. The investment was structured in such a way that it also fulfilled economic offset commitment for a major US aerospace company. As a result, the client not only built a successful joint venture that led to the co-manufacturing of magnesium sand castings in Korea, they also became a preferred supplier to the US-based major aerospace company.
