Boeing co-sponsors conference to explore business opportunities with M'sia
Boeing co-sponsors conference to explore business opportunities with M'sia
Kuala Lumpur: The Boeing Company co-sponsored a conference with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) on May 2 in St. Louis to showcase current business opportunities in Malaysia and to discuss the goals of Malaysian industry.
Conference attendees included representatives from 75 Malaysian and U.S. companies.
"Strategic and cultural alliances are shifting back to markets in Asia," said former U.S. Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond, who spoke at the conference in St. Louis.
"Establishing partnerships with Malaysian industry is critical in capturing new opportunities. Malaysia has transformed into a competitive, high-tech economy that is actively seeking areas of mutual collaboration in the medical, technology, and aerospace industries."
Boeing's involvement with Malaysia dates back to 1947 and continues Thursday through a variety of programs, including the country's fleet of F/A-18D Hornets, Harpoon Weapon System, MEASAT satellites, training programs, and commercial aircraft.
Most recently, Insitu Pacific, a wholly owned subsidiary of Insitu and Boeing, announced a contract for the ScanEagle unmanned aircraft system in Malaysia and a partnership with Composites Technology Research Malaysia to provide in-country support for ScanEagle operations.
In addition to improving its intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities with ScanEagle, Malaysia also is looking to bolster its fighter capability.
Boeing is offering the next-generation F/A-18E/F Super Hornet in Malaysia's Multi-Role Combat Aircraft competition.
"Strategic international partnerships create combinations of capabilities and ideas that give the partners a greater competitive advantage for future business pursuits," said Mike Gibbons, Boeing vice president of F/A-18 and E/A-18 Programs.
"Boeing continues to demonstrate its long-term commitment to building win-win opportunities with the Malaysian aerospace industry that are independent of any one platform sale and will continue beyond any potential sale."
Other co-sponsors of the conference included the Boeing Institute of International Business at Saint Louis University; Kit Bond Strategies; Missouri International Trade & Investment Office; the Regional Chamber & Growth Association of Saint Louis; US-Asean Business Council; U.S. Department of Commerce; and World Trade Center Saint Louis.
A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world's largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft.

Boeing spotlights Malaysia business
ST. LOUIS, May 24 (UPI) -- Malaysia's industry and business opportunities in the country were spotlighted earlier this month in a conference in the United States.
Boeing, which co-hosted the conference in St. Louis with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, said 75 U.S. and Malaysian businesses participated in the event.
"Strategic and cultural alliances are shifting back to markets in Asia," said former U.S. Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond, who spoke at the conference. "Establishing partnerships with Malaysian industry is critical in capturing new opportunities.
"Malaysia has transformed into a competitive, high-tech economy that is actively seeking areas of mutual collaboration in the medical, technology, and aerospace industries."
Malaysia flies Boeing's FA/18D Hornets, and the company is offering its "F" model in the government's competition for new combat aircraft. Insitu Pacific, a joint venture between Boeing and Insitu, recently partnered with Malaysian company Composites Technology Research Malaysia for in-country support of ScanEagle unmanned aircraft systems that are being acquired by the country.
"Strategic international partnerships create combinations of capabilities and ideas that give the partners a greater competitive advantage for future business pursuits," said Mike Gibbons, Boeing vice president of F/A-18 and E/A-18 Programs. "Boeing continues to demonstrate its long-term commitment to building win-win opportunities with the Malaysian aerospace industry that are independent of any one platform sale and will continue beyond any potential sale."

SAO BERNARDO DO CAMPO, Brazil, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Two Brazilian companies have joined with Boeing of the United States to explore business opportunities in logistics, machined parts and engineering support.
The two companies are MSM Powertrain Ltda. and Pan Metal Industria Metalurgica Ltda.
"These companies are recognized for their experience in the aerospace industry," said Susan Colegrove, regional director of International Strategic Partnerships for Boeing Defense, Space and Security.
"Boeing looks forward to developing opportunities that will bring best-value solutions to our customers and support regional economic development objectives for expanded opportunities in the aerospace industry and other sectors."
Business areas to be explored under the Memorandums of Understanding include logistics services, ground support equipment, engineering support, assembly, subsystem installation and machined parts.
Boeing is bidding on a Brazilian contract to replace 32 air force fighters. Its identification of potential local suppliers "enhances Boeing's industrial participation offer on the F-X2 fighter program, with a focus on identifying near-term opportunities," the company said.
In addition to MSM Powertrain Ltda., and Pan Metal Industria Metalurgica Ltda., Boeing has identified more than 25 Brazilian companies as potential suppliers.
