These companies, which are located outside North America, wish to fabricate and market specific construction products in their respective markets.
In the case of partnerships, Canam International’s investment strategy consists in acquiring a minimal ownership interest in the share capital of a joint venture with the objective of recuperating the invested capital within approximately seven years.
Technology transfer agreements include engineering and fabrication methods for certain Canam products. In return for the transfer of technological expertise, royalties are paid on the sale value of fabricated products for an established number of years.
