Western Hemisphere Operations, Headquarters

Developing relationships in 1) Valparaiso and Santiago, Chile 2) Essen and Stuttgart, Germany 3) Istanbul, Turkey

Our initial commercial venture began with a one month trip from Feb 27, 2010 - Mar 26, 2010 to the Valparaíso district, including Viña del Mar and Santiago, Chile. El Terre Moto, additional trembolores and multiple tsunamis added some turbulence to the flow of this inaugural adventure. For instance, the largest steel & iron ore conglomerate, CAP found itself under water, displacing production for up to 3 months. Amidst the chaos we were able to meet some very hospitable Chileans who are now good friends. We all faced a first-in-a-lifetime 7.2 - 8.0 and were challenged by unexpected quaking obstacles. We can now chalk another meeting with Mother Nature to past experiences that include being touched by devastating hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and heat waves.

While there, we met with several members from the entrepreneurial startup facilities located on the campus de la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTFSM). During our stay we discussed collaborative projects between universities in Chile and universities in Alabama, including initiating an Engineering relationship designed to address the Mechanical, Materials, and Interdisciplinary Engineering Departments at University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) and International Business relationships targeted to collaborate with the Brock Business School at Samford University and the University of Alabama. Since then, we have found that developing Agricultural relationships may also become a primary requisite.

An intriguing meet-up was hosted by a Mining & Minerals networking group. We called on over 50 engineering groups, metals & mining companies, and governmental trade entities. We spoke with a member from a US Commerce Department division located in Santiago, and we met Engineering & Business contacts representing fields as diverse as Lithium mining, Copper Mining, Machine Shops & Job Shops, Port Authorities, Food Brokers, and Highway Departments.

Thank you to those who helped us prepare for our trip. Y, Muchas Gracias to those Chileans who made that one month a lifetime full of memories - Special Thanks to Jose y Karen, proprietors AND to Karol T, UTFSM.

Examples of manufactured products offered by Sponsors for this trip include Custom Steel Plate products; steel pipe products (casing pipe, piling pipe, bollards); overhead cranes and hoists, including related products such as custom built crane workstations and heavy duty hoists and controls for industrial applications; steel products for mining & minerals; and specialty bolts.

As of November, 2010, we have familiarized ourselves with IncoTerms®2010. During 2010 we extended relationships with Alabama farmers, real estate brokers, business owners, investment groups, educational communities, international organizations, and governmental resources. We are currently searching for a parcel of property to establish a Business Headquarters, and we are formulating specific target goals for the company.

December 2010 began with a trip to the Ronald Reagan Building, Washington DC to meet with members from The Manufacturing Institute, a division of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). Continuing relationships with organizations such as NAM and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), with university professors and executive members, with federal and state officials, and with the new Small Business initiatives set up underneath the 2010 Presidential Executive plan for increasing exports, especially for Small Businesses, should together help us to enter 2011 with a full team of support, heading in the same direction, "out the ports."
