In
conjunction with its affiliate offices in Tel Aviv,
Israel, and Toulouse, France, M&BA’s International
Manufacturing activities, are fueled by the followings
factors:
FMS (Foreign Military Sales) requiring a portion of
US financial support to foreign countries, to be in
the form of subcontracting work performed in the US
for customers located in those foreign countries.
Optimization
of manufacturing costs across borders.
The presence of major OEM’s (such as Boeing) in the US creates the need & desire by European manufacturers to perform subcontracting work in the US
The presence of desirable technologies (such as composite materials) in the US.
