Inco, a Global Business Global Business Presence One of the characteristics that sets Inco apart is our global market presence. Eight percent is sold in other world markets. We are truly international, serving customers in every region of the world.
Many companies talk today about doing business in the Asian market.
At Inco, we have been selling our products in Asia for more than half a century and have experienced dramatic growth over the past 20 years. Two decades ago, about five per cent of our primary nickel deliveries went to Asia . We now sell more than half of our nickel to customers in Asia. We have achieved this remarkable success by establishing a network of production joint ventures and marketing facilities in Asia, working with local partners where appropriate, hiring, training and promoting local nationals, and earning a reputation as a reliable supplier of quality products. Our strong market presence in Asia is supported by equity interests in nickel refineries in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.
